NEXTROLES · CV AND CAREER SUPPORT
Explore careers and decide what to investigate next.
NextRoles brings Career Finder and Skills Review into the same workspace as CV building and applications. Students can explore possible roles, reflect on their strengths and discuss their next steps with school staff.
Sign in to use the tools. Access and limits depend on your plan or school account.
Start with questions about the work
Look beyond a job title. Consider the activities involved, the skills people use, the working environment and the routes into the role. Compare more than one option before deciding what to investigate.
Reflect on your skills
Skills Review helps you think about your working style and transferable skills. Your answers are a reflection, rather than a test of ability or a fixed judgement about your future.
From a career idea to a next step
- Choose a few roles that interest you.
- Compare the tasks and requirements, then check current entry routes with the relevant training provider or employer.
- Find a small next step: a conversation, project, open day or work experience enquiry.
- Record what you learn and build relevant examples for your CV.
Talk through your ideas with a teacher or careers adviser. Requirements, qualifications and vacancies can change, so verify them before committing to a course or application.
Career support for schools
NextRoles for schools combines career exploration, skills reflection, CVs, applications and interview practice with staff support. Schools can arrange a demo to see the student and staff experience.
Career Finder availability depends on the features enabled for your account. Ask your school or check with NextRoles support.
