At Brookfield School, we have access to a Careers package which we would like to share with you and your son/daughter as we feel this may be beneficial and of interest to them.

Logon details have been sent to parents and students, so keep a check.

There are lots of different ways to search for information for example:

• Select A – Z for careers information which will bring up a careers database where a search can be made by subject or career of interest
• Employment section for CV writing, Post 16 guidance and Apprenticeship information.
• Career wizard for refining ideas and presenting suggestions.

EBP can be contacted on careersguidance@ebpsouth.co.uk.
