Careers Information

Let’s make a Start on your future!

Wickersley School has recently partnered with U-explore to be able to offer all our students their own access to the Start platform.

Start is an online careers platform designed to connect 11-18 year olds with their future career potential. It combines comprehensive information with a personalised experience and career planning tools, helping our students to make more informed decisions about their future study and career options as well as developing their employability.

Start includes:

A student profile: students build their profile and access personalised study and career information.
Modules: activities to guide students through the information on Start at the right time.
Up to date information: engaging content on what to study, where to learn and the world of work.
Locker: an online record of achievement to evidence skills for future applications and CVs.
Employability action plan: Students can set goals and stay in control of their career planning.

Year 7 students have been exploring their futures on Start from home in the last few weeks – well done to them!

Anyone can use Start but if you want to use it as a Wickersley student and are not yet registered then please email careers@wickersley.net for further information.
