Careers Planner Guide for 16-18 Year Olds
Now's the time for students to map their future – and as a teacher you will be aware that students will lean on you as a guide to help make informed decisions about the next steps on their journey.
The downloadable careers planner for 16-18s is the ideal tool to use. It's full of practical ideas and inspiring activities for you to work through together. Click here to access UCAS' free template
Student essentials:
- A term-by-term breakdown for each age group, highlighting key issues and questions to consider at each stage.
- Important dates in a quick at-a-glance chart – from key UCAS application dates to results days and Clearing.
- Designed to use as a wall poster, enabling students to keep a visual track of what they need to think about.
Teacher toolkit:
The teacher resources are clearly split into sections to help develop students' future plans, skills and to consider money matters. You'll find 18 activities to explore with your students and a wealth of resources to use as inspiration. Here are a few examples of what's included:
- How will you decide which uni? Read through our article about making first and insurance choices and encourage students to think about how they will make their own decisions.
- How can you live on a student budget? Ask students to come up with ideas for how to make their student loan go further. Use our resources to give extra suggestions.
- What is it like to be a student? Ask students to make a list of things they are excited about, nervous about or unsure about. Then use our links to encourage some independent research: How can they best prepare themselves?
You can also chat with our staff directly every Wednesday from 2 pm - 4 pm and periodically throughout the working week.
Alternatively, chat with our current students who will be able to share this information with you and any other course-related queries.
Or book onto one of our Open Days or Course Advice Days to find out more and speak with the team.
