Careers

Life Skills Hub is passionate about supporting young people to understand their strengths and to support them to make informed decisions regarding their future pathways. We aim to ensure that they are ready to take their next steps with confidence.

At Life Skills Hub, we are committed to providing young people with up-to-date, impartial

careers guidance to support them to achieve their aspirations.

We want all our young people to:

• Understand the full range of opportunities available to them. We will welcome employers into Life Skills Hub Central to enable our young people to learn about work and the skills that are valued in the workplace.

• Have access to career guidance that is tailored to their specific needs and circumstances.

• Understand the job and career opportunities available and how their knowledge and skills can help them when considering the next steps and career options.

Our young people will have access to a full and diverse Careers Guidance curriculum that can be tailored to their individual strengths and interests. All young people will have an account with Unifrog to support them in their journeys.

As well as being able to understand their future options, we support our young people to develop the skills that they require to be more independent and to learn key employability skills, including topics such as:

• Effective communication.

• Teamwork.

• Resilience and well-being in the workplace.

• Organisation skills.

• Time management.

• Application and interview skills.

Labour Market Information:

High quality information regarding the Local Labour Market can help our students to understand:

1. Where the jobs are locally
2. Skills and qualities needed in the future
3. Potential growth sectors

This can help young people to make informed choices about their next steps and post 16 choices.

Emma - Senior Participation Advisor

Hello, my name is Emma and I work for Connexions, a part of Hull City Council, and I visit Life Skills Hub alongside other schools. I love working with young people, and have done since 1998!!! My job is to support young people to understand all of their options when they leave year 11, and to help them plan, engage and prepare for the change with plenty of time. I keep a close eye upon what local Colleges and Training Providers offer in order to provide the most up to date information and best possible advice to suit every young person I work with, and their parents or carers. In my spare time I love to be outside in the countryside doing something active. I don’t have a dog but would love one, so I’m looking forward to meeting Buddy the LSH Dog!
