So important to promote ALL pathways equally. The route to a successful career may lie via university, or an apprenticeship, or a vocational route. Everyone needs to understand they have choices.
Day 9 of our #CareersLeadersCan celebration. Today's theme is 'Promote all Pathways'. Careers Leaders play an important role in highlighting all pathways to young people, and help share the different routes they can take after leaving education. Share how you do the same. 💬
