  • Your tutor can provide information and advice about progression in that subject area
  • Our employability programme can help you with job search, CV writing and interview practice
  • You can access our Information area, in the café at the Adult Education.
  • You can use an online tool, called KUDOS, to explore careers options and create a personalised career plan
  • You can have a one-to-one appointment with our Careers Leader if you need more in-depth support and guidance.
  • Our colleagues at the Leicester Employment Hub, can help you find jobs, apprenticeships, and other opportunities.

Good quality information, advice and guidance, based around your experiences and individual needs and linked to the skills needed by different careers and work sectors, can be very useful when thinking about your choices and future career journey.

Our Information, Advice and Guidance services are quality assured under the MATRIX standard.
