Our programme
Building insight
Early insight into the world of work is now more crucial than ever in supporting the development of our young people.
Career Builder offers a timetable of live sessions for students across each year group, mapped against 7/8 Gatsby Benchmarks.
Sessions connect schools and colleges to our UK wide network of employer partners and employee volunteers, helping young people to discover more about the world of work.

Upskill Me for every student
Upskill Me
We are delighted to be launching a partnership with Upskill Me, a digital portfolio platform for young people to track their skill development and showcase their talents.
Our Career Builder sessions come built-in to the Upskill Me platform so, as a follow-up activity, you can encourage your students to log their experiences and reflect on what they’ve learnt through taking part in Career Ready activities.
Like our resources, Upskill Me is absolutely free to schools and students. To find out more about adopting Upskill Me in your school, please visit: upskillme.io.
