Unifrog also offers the opportunity for KS4 students to compare the Campion Sixth Form provision alongside other Sixth Form and college providers
Sixth Form students will use Unifrog to compose their future CV’s, Resume and Personal Statements

Talk about likes and dislikes with your child, and discuss how those preferences might relate to career choices.
Research with your child the areas they can go into, and most importantly how they might get there.
Help them to explore the possible employers, apprenticeship providers and further education courses available in your local area. You should be able to find lots of useful information on these things on the web site of your local council. Keep an eye out for things like open days (at colleges and training organisations) and local careers fairs.
Encourage them to participate in out of school activities. These are valuable in themselves and will help greatly later on in giving a good impression to people like employers or course tutors.
Encourage your child to seek advice within school.
Encourage them to prepare properly for this discussion.
