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.
