Hall Park Academy Careers Roadmap 

Labour Market Information

We are keen to ensure that students have access to up-to-date information about the labour market. See below for a selection of tools and resources. 

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!
