Careersbox News - February 2011

Join us in celebrating Careers Week
We're celebrating careers guidance from 7th - 11th March 2011
For a whole week in March Careersbox, the National Careers Film Library, will be celebrating the world of careers advice and guidance and we hope that you will be able to celebrate it with us.

Each day we will be sending you free careers resources and case study films to help you promote the importance of quality IAG and to inspire a new wave of job seekers as they take their first steps into the world of work.

Get started now and download your free Careers Week poster to show your support for careers guidance and we hope you'll enjoy a week of excellent resources as we celebrate Careers Week from 7th - 11th March 2011.

Involving parents in careers

Parents are one of the key influencers to students, especially as they venture into the job market for the first time. That's why we want you to let them know about our Parent Careers Club.

This Careers Week we want to help by giving parents better resources and increasing their understanding about education routes and careers. To help us achieve this please forward this e-letter onto your parent groups so that they can register to receive all the Careers Week updates too.

Register for Parent Careers Club here.

Bridging the gap between education and employment

In our January update we asked you to tell us which employers you would most like to engage with. The response was fantastic and we were able to link up a number of schools with their chosen employers. City of Bath College told us they wanted to engage with Dyson and the BBC, and we made it happen.

If you are keen to engage with a local employer let us know by contacting schools@careersbox.co.uk.

Exclusive apprenticeship news!

After a successful Apprenticeship week earlier this month we are delighted to exclusively reveal that BT will be recruiting for a number of apprenticeships across their business with start dates in September. Students can register their interest for these forthcoming opportunities now at bt4me.co.uk.

Full details will be available in March. Until then you can check out the 'BT Value of Apprenticeships' film and, if you've not seen it already, our 'Understanding Apprenticeships' information film too.

And finally... we've recently made searching our library of films easier with a list of all the job profiles which you can work your way through to find the role of most interest to you.
Enjoy!
