Unifrog

Unifrog is an online platform that supports schools to deliver their statutory duty to provide students with impartial and independent guidance on the full range of post-school options. The platform is particularly helpful because it is the only place students can compare every undergraduate course in the UK as well as international opportunities. Additionally, the Unifrog platform allows students to access Further Education courses and the most comprehensive list of apprenticeships available across the country, including higher, school leaver and degree apprenticeships.

Once students have explored their interests and compared the full range of pathways available to them, Unifrog provides one place for students to draft all materials needed for applications such as CVs or Personal Statements.

All students in Years 9 to 13 have access to this website, in keeping with our commitment to provide students with outstanding careers guidance and tailored support when choosing their next step after school.

Labour Market Information

We want you to know more about the different types of careers there are in the world of work, and understand that these are constantly changing. In order for you to be more aware of what is known as labour market information, we would encourage you to watch the following video. 

Our Region Your Future

To delve deeper and find out more about different job roles, sectors and professions, as well as the different responsibilities you can expect for each of these, along with average annual salaries or weekly hours worked, you should access the following widget. During your time as a pupil at Queen Elizabeth High School, this resource will be referred at key moments including National Careers Week.

Careerometer - LMI for All

The Careerometer widget, shown below, provides access to a selection of headline data relating to pay, weekly hours of work and future employment prospects. The widget can be used to explore and compare key information about occupations to support the process of identifying potential careers – simply type the title of the job you’re interested in to start!

MyPath Resources

If you want to learn a little more about certain career roles and their related LMI, why not access some short videos. Take the time to watch one every week.  During the tutorial programme, you will be provided with a Job of the Week. These are shared with all year groups as we believe it is important for all pupils to have knowledge of different job roles from an early age. 

Global Bridge

We provide our students with the opportunity to create on online profile through the Global Bridge platform. We would like our students to be able to ‘stand out from the crowd’, and this platform allows them to connect with employers, training and education providers and search for potential work experience opportunities.  Students are able to create their own unique profile (like an online CV) and share this with others. The profile that they create will stay with them indefinitely as they progress beyond Queen Elizabeth High School. Audio-visual evidence can be uploaded to each student’s profile, capturing all the different pieces of personal development and extracurricular activities. We believe that this platform helps our students to live out the school’s values of respect, engage and aspire.
