Helping young people explore
their careers
Before setting up Success at School our
Founder Mitesh spent a year talking to school
staff about careers and employability. He
discovered an impossible to navigate maze of
information, consisting of the odd company flyer,
a list of websites and a couple of phone
numbers.
This is what inspired Mitesh to set up a national
careers website so young people could
understand the different options out there and
employers could access the school market.
What you get
Platform comes fully loaded with up-to-date,
relevant content – from advice on how to write a
CV or cover letter, to work experience ideas and
live work experience listings.
Students can get advice from qualified careers
advisers on our forums.
What you can do
Schools can add their own branding to the site,
add student users securely and use simple
reporting to track students’ career interests and
progress.
Students can apply for work experience, update
their individual skills passport, and get ready for
the world of work via their very own individual
profile.
Careers resources for all your needs
Our bestselling careers posters help young
people link academic subjects to careers – they
are now used by one in 20 secondary schools
and colleges in the UK!
Our growing range of online resources brings
careers advice directly into the classroom,
encouraging pupils in each secondary year
group to reflect on what jobs interest them,
understand how to research career paths and
learn more about what different careers involve.
