CAREERS ADVICE AND GUIDANCE SUPPORT

“Student Navigator has real expertise in guiding her students through the

variety of career options available to them.”

Careers advice and guidance sessions can help students and young people to talk through their plans, ideas or uncertainties in a supportive, impartial and confidential space. Sessions last around 50 minutes and can be online or in person at our base in Leeds. At the end of the careers advice and guidance session, clients are emailed a summary of the discussion and a copy of their Careers Action Plan, detailing the next steps in their journey that the client has identified through the meeting. 

The number of appointments a client has is flexible and dependent upon the needs of the individual. For some, one meeting is enough, whereas other students benefit from several sessions. Please get in touch to discuss your individual requirements.

Reasons that you may benefit from a one-to-one careers advice and guidance session:

  • If you’re at university and thinking of leaving or wanting to change your course and would like to discuss your options and be supported in your decision-making process.
  • If you’re a recent graduate looking for support with graduate job applications, or wondering about how to make the next steps in your career after finishing university and moving back home.
  • If you’re looking for help with job application supporting statements, cv advice and interview preparation.
  • If you’re in year 10 or year 11 and want to discuss your career options and what courses you might want to do after your GCSEs.
  • If you are at college or sixth form and want to explore post-18 job or training opportunities, including university courses and apprenticeships.
  • If you’d like help to prepare for university interview processes, for example, healthcare MMIs, and build confidence by developing your techniques and practising common questions in a mock interview scenario.
