Young people aged 13–18 can now get help with decisions about school, college,
university, training and work in a new dedicated section on the National Careers
Service website.
We’re offering this in addition to the help from advisers that young
people can already access by telephone, email, text, webchat, chat room and
textphone.
Young people’s section There are career guides for young people on topics such
as finding a part-time job, improving interview skills and choosing a job they’ll
enjoy.
Career guides
Advisers have also put together questions and answers on the
topics most frequently requested by young people.
Frequently asked questions
We’ll be adding more content in the coming weeks and months, with plans for quizzes,
case studies and videos to enhance the offer.

Free website launched to offer careers advice
via FE News by Natalie Thornhill
A new website has been launched to help schools and colleges deliver impartial and independent careers guidance under the 2011 Education Act.
MyCareerSpringboard.org is a free service that aims to provide impartial advice as new measures have resulted in schools tapping stretched budgets to meet the costs of careers provision.
Jack Denton, co-founder of parent site AllAboutCareers.com, explained: “The Education Act 2011 has placed huge pressure on schools to provide independent careers advice. Unfortunately, this can be costly. MyCareerSpringboard.org addresses both these problems: it’s designed to help schools educate pupils about their career options without having to dip into their budgets.”
The site contains an interactive career test and exploration tools to assist learners in finding job paths that best match their personality, skills and interests. It also has downloadable lesson plans and industry guides to help teachers effectively deliver the guidance.
I am not, and never have been, a careers adviser so I can't speak for the validity of the tools available.
