• Building A Digital CV

LikeToBe provides step-by-step comprehensive instructions to help students start to put their CV together.  They are encouraged to write as full a profile as possible in order to attract potential employers and career opportunities. 

A lesson plan is available for educators to follow as part of a careers lesson.

Students can set their interests, skills and career goals and keep their profiles updating by posting achievements, resources and qualification. They can invite peers; follow employers and look out for work experience and volunteering opportunities.

• Networking

With the adage “its not what you know, but who you know” young people are given a soft introduction to the world of networking. There is no direct interaction, so as to adhere to safeguarding guidelines, but a forum-style tool is used for communication.  Young people can follow employers on the platform that interest them, use the forum to post questions and keep in touch with the organisations’ news.

LikeToBe can help employers and business link and engage with schools, colleges and universities in order to help bridge the gap between education and the workplace.  Be part of a network where you can:

• Introduce and showcase your organisation to a network of young people by creating an Employer Booth/Profile
• Upload inspirational talks or presentations and demonstrate possible career routes into your industry
• Create career events; workshops and post work/volunteering opportunities
• Update your profile with news and events from your organisation; link to your website
• Network with young people through the use of a moderated forum tool - answer their questions and offer advice
• Discover who your local schools, colleges and universities are and forge links with the educators
• Discover your talent of the future and be a part of it
• Attend LikeToBe Career Shows as exhibitors
