Free careers planning, skills builder and job vacancy matching for young people

www.passportfolio.com is a free online careers planning tool for young people, it's been designed by careers professionals in partnership with young people so it's relevant and easy to use. We deliver the Connexions careers service for young people and have access to thousands of young people, we also work with employers and know about their vacancies and what they are looking for. Connexions is being cut or reduced in most areas we want to set up a system on our already working passportfolio website to enable young people and young adults to search for real vacancies that match their skills and help them apply for it, all on one place, online.

Likely2Like

An online platform that levels the playing field for both young talent looking to launch their careers and employers looking to attract the most relevant talent. Young people leaving school and university are given access to the best information from the people that really know what they are talking about, as well as career opportunities at companies beyond the famous household names. The employers are able to showcase their employer brand to groups of diverse and relevant young talent they would not otherwise be able to reach.
