Labour Market Information

We try to make sure you have access to up-to-date information about the labour market. See below for a selection of tools and resources. We also regularly update the Twitter feed, so please do follow us @hallparkcareers

Careerometer

Use the Careerometer to explore and compare job roles and statistics. You can select two job roles to compare or look at UK average figures for salary information projected changes to the sector.

Skillsometer

Skillsometer can help you discover what jobs you might like to do in the future. To access it follow the link below.

You will be presented with a series of statements. Select the emoji that shows how you feel about each statement. You will be given suggestions of jobs linked to what you most enjoy doing.

The Buzz Quiz

Exploring likes and dislikes can be a good way to inspire careers. The Education and Employers charity has developed 'The Buzz Quiz' to help students do this in a fun way!

Unifrog

You also have access to an excellent online platform called Unifrog which allows you to explore ideas and save them into your 'locker' so you can keep a record of what you have done. Please contact Mrs Morris if you have any problems with passwords or usernames. 

Careers Newsletter

Every half term we produce a newsletter to allow you to look at a range of relevant issues. This term is looking at ''Career Stereotypes' and gets students to consider whether they have preset ideas about who is suitable for different roles based on who they are as a person.
