The videos align with national benchmarks for effective careers provision, support curriculum-linked learning opportunities, give pupils an insight into the world of work and workplace skills, and help schools and careers leaders create a well-resourced programme of careers education and guidance.

Mayor of Mid and East Antrim Maureen Morrow, said: “These bite-sized videos are the perfect way to ignite young students’ curiosity and signpost them to further career and employability support.”
