Careers guidance offer for 16 and 17 year olds who have completed year 11 and are unemployed
The 16 to 17 Participation team offer NEET young people a one-to-one personal careers guidance interview with a professionally qualified level 6 careers adviser.
A careers guidance interview is an impartial, confidential, one-to-one meeting between you and a careers adviser. A guidance interview can last about 45 minutes. A careers guidance interview is not like a job interview - there are no right or wrong answers.
During a guidance interview, the careers adviser will help you to:
- identify your personal qualities and skills you would like to develop
- explore your interests, likes and dislikes, family influences, personal barriers and work experience
- think about how study, work experience, and home life can all contribute to your employability
- come up with ideas for study and work
- explore current and future job opportunities and specific career areas open to you.
Pre-booked appointments are available on a Friday only at Leyton Library via video call or face to face.
