The purpose of the Careers Resources Directory

The Careers Resources Directory has been developed to give you an insight into some of the resources available to support your Careers and

the World of Work (CWW) programme. The resources listed are not exhaustive but aim to provide an introduction to materials available. This

document is regularly reviewed and is accurate at time of publication.

All learners benefit from a good understanding of Careers and the World of Work. The fulfilment of the range statements within the CWW

framework provides the context in which skills, attitudes and values can be developed and will inform the programme you provide.

The resources have been mapped against CWW range and skills elements. Explore the mapping tables to see where the gaps in your

curriculum, identified by your CWW audit, can be addressed.

You can then be confident that the resources will:

Provide a meaningful, relevant and motivating curriculum for learners

Meet the specific needs of their learners and further their all-round development (Source: CWW framework p.5)

For further support in making changes to your careers related curriculum, including auditing, implementing change and evaluating the impact in

helping young people to make effective career decisions as a result of your CWW programme, please contact your link Careers Adviser or local

Careers and the World of Work Coordinator.
