1 Overview
Our Careers Team can provide free information, advice, guidance and support if you:
- live in West Sussex
- are aged 16-18, or 16-25 with an Education, Health and Care plan (EHCP)
- are not in employment, education or training.
We can also help if you are working fewer than 16 hours a week or studying part time (for example retaking Maths or English GCSE), but not on a full time college course.
We can meet you at a local FindItOut centre, Children and family centre or library. We can also visit you at home, as long as there is an adult present.
We can help you to:
- assess what you want to do next
- recognise your skills, strengths and ambitions
- find out about opportunities, including education, apprenticeship, employment, traineeship, further training and volunteering
- develop a plan to help you achieve your goals, and keep on track with that plan
- create a CV, practice interviews, search for jobs and complete job or benefit applications.
We may be able to speak on your behalf by being an advocate, if appropriate.
