All groups have had the opportunity to look at “The Way Up” website.

This online platform gives the learners the chance to create an avatar and explore various industries. Each industry is broken down into suggested job roles, which the learners may not have known about, and outlines salaries and job descriptions. The learner can add up to three jobs on their profile and offers various pathways to gain the right qualifications. The platform even has the ability to break down the salary in to a monthly budget, giving the learner autonomy over their spending choices.

The online activity strengthens IT / research skills, their ability to navigate online careers platforms and exposes them to different career pathways.
