Start

Start is a careers platform full of both general and South Yorkshire specific employment and education information. Students at TRC have access to extra resources on Start through a dedicated login and can research career and education pathways and also have immediate access to live apprenticeship and employment vacancies. Useful tools include a skills analysis and CV builder. https://southyorkshire.startprofile.com/page/home-page

We encourage parents to use Start with your son/daughter at home. Parents and carers can access the platform without the need to login but can also create yourself an account for free. To get started, please visit: https://careers.startprofile.com/page/parents.

You may find this resource of particular use when working through post-18 option choices: https://careers.startprofile.com/page/post18-options

New Resource funded by the DFE
A new app that provides up to date info on the consequences of education and career choices.

• Free to play online – over 10 million possible routes through the game! Choose from 20 career paths and over 900 unique jobs and promotions.
• 1,200 combinations of university courses and subjects in the game to choose from. Apprenticeships or A levels, university or straight to work – it lets you explore all their options.
• Up-to-date salary and occupation information from 10 different datasets.

As a player you decide what is important: earnings, happiness, work-life balance or education across 10 years of your life.
