National Careers Week (NCW) is a one-week celebration of careers guidance and free resources in education across the UK. The aim is to provide a focus for careers guidance activity at an important stage in the academic calendar to help support young people develop awareness and excitement about their future pathways.
NCW is a dedicated week every year allowing schools, colleges, universities, alternative provision settings and organisations to work towards. It’s backed-up with free high-quality printable, downloadable, digital and video resources for educators to support planning and delivery.
This year’s theme is 𝗢𝘄𝗻 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗙𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲. It’s a call to action for students, career-changers, and lifelong learners to take the driver's seat in their professional journeys. Whether you're navigating the world of apprenticeships, eyeing a move into the green economy, or curious about how AI is reshaping the workplace, this week is designed to provide the clarity you need.
