The benefits of early career planning

by Mark Nixon, SBY Careers Adviser.

It has been a fantastic experience having careers meetings with our south Bristol year 11 students over the past couple of terms, with the range of career aspirations spanning from music producer to accountant.

It is never too early for young people to start their career planning journey. It will help to inform year 9 option choices and potential work experience opportunities, but above all will motivate and inspire them to reach their full potential at school.

If you’re not sure what you want to do, Careerpilot is a great place to start exploring your options – try the Job Quiz under the ‘Start with you’ heading and see what it suggests! You’ll need to sign up for free first. Happy career planning!
