Student Careers Information
UNIFROG
All students have access to a Unifrog account using their school login details. We encourage you to track your careers journey and what you do outside of school. This can help you build your skills audit, a competitive CV, and a greater understanding of your employability.
BARTON COURT CAREERS PLATFORM
Use our careers platform to access information about your future. It is regularly updated and gives you the opportunity to have your say too!
Barton Court Grammar School Careers Platform
THESE WEBSITES CAN HELP WITH EARLY RESEARCH:
START
Once registered (for free), build your profile by identifying which skills and qualities you are strongest in, these are then “matched” to jobs you maybe suited to in the future. Delve deeper into the information to find out how many opportunities there maybe locally, what other jobs are similar and actual job openings. This “matching” works for some students but not all, as your ideas often change as you develop. However, with this website you can return to your profile time and again, as your skills develop and ideas change.
NATIONAL CAREERS WEBSITE
This site contains hundreds of different job profiles, each with further links to explore and labour market information for each role and sector.

This is useful for some students but not the only way to decide on your future choices.
16PERSONALITIES
Take this personality quiz to see how your character may link to your future career aspirations. Again suitable for some students but, not all.
