Yateley School is committed to providing high-quality careers advice, guidance and support for our students across all year groups. The Careers Programme at Yateley School encompasses a wide variety of tutorial, subject, group, individual and whole-College events, and activities.

Skillsometer has been designed for those who are not sure what jobs they may be interested in! Thinking about skills, interests and the ways these can link to jobs can be a helpful first step in identifying possible future jobs. Users take the quiz, which requires them to reflect on a number statements and decide what they love, are not sure about or dislike. The statements are presented within six well established occupational categories (Artistic, Realistic, Investigative, Conventional, Enterprising, and Social), which are then ranked against jobs. Once the user has completed the quiz they are given a short list of job suggestions that are most likely to be suited to their own particular skills and interests. Each job can be explored as a description is presented together with information on pay and hours. For further information on the job, and to compare with other jobs, the user could then go to the Careerometer.

Careerometer is being widely used and is estimated to be used in over 160 websites across Great Britain, including:

• An online careers magazine, which a number of other websites point to as a resource (Moving On magazine).
• Online UK-wide careers resources.
• Higher education institutions, higher education and colleges consortia websites
• Schools, academies and UTC websites
• Further education colleges and sixth forms websites
• Career organisations and services
