DfE create series of career videos

The Department for Education has recently published a series of short films on careers for schools and young people.

You can see the first five films on our YouTube channel: click here

Each film features an inspiring young person who loves what they do. The films tell us these young people’s stories – including why they choose these careers and how they got there. They also share advice for others just starting out on their own journey.

The films feature a range of careers available through different routes. They also tell quite different stories – from those who followed a clear career path, to those who took longer to find what it is they wanted to do.

You can share, comment or get involved generally with this campaign by following the #explorecareers throughout the summer.
