We've created a toolkit to help you engage your students, parents, and colleagues to save you time.
New tool to share with your students
As part of National Apprenticeship Week, your students will be able to use CV builder as part of their UCAS Hub journey, enabling them to easily update and share their details in one place. Perfect for apprenticeship applications, this new tool provides step-by-step guidance to craft polished CVs that make an impact. They're designed to help students:
- showcase their unique skills and achievements in a clear, professional format
- build confidence by providing structure and guidance, ensuring nothing important is overlooked
- create a template of key information they can quickly tailor for different applications and encounters, all stored in their Hub profile
Gatsby Benchmark 3: Addressing the needs of each young person.
Gatsby Benchmark 5: Encounters with employers and employees.
CDI Framework: Manage career/create opportunities.
Be among the first to explore this new resource, now a tile in the UCAS Hub, and give your students the tools they need to succeed.
(You can access the Student Hub from your UCAS adviser profile on ucas.com if you are already registered, or sign up using the link below.)
