Welcome to Next Steps Toolkit

We understand it’s difficult to be sure what to do next as you leave education. That's why we have worked closely with employers to create resources to inspire, inform and empower you to take those next steps, whatever they might be.

This section will inspire you to work towards your career goals. Here you will be looking at different employers and learning what they want from young people as employees. You can also look at career journeys of young people and how they got into their job role.

Inspire resources

This section will give you top tips on taking those next steps and help you understand the digital workplace. Tips include CV writing, first impressions and interviews. Click this link below to see an animation with useful information about how to impress at a virtual interview.

Inform resources

In this section, you will find useful resources to put all the learning from the previous sections into practice. The resources will help you prepare for the world of work by looking at your skills, help you prepare for interviews, understand how to research employers as well as creating a personalised cover letter and more.
