Unifrog – The Complete Destinations Platform
In keeping with our commitment to provide students with outstanding careers guidance and tailored support when choosing their next step after school, we will now be using Unifrog; an award-winning, online careers platform. All students from years 7-11 have access to this excellent website and will use it throughout their time at Parkside.
The Unifrog platform is designed to support learners in making the most informed decisions about their futures and has a range of tools that are suitable for all year groups. Each student has their own personal account that provides a wide range of information related to their interests and aspirations. Key features of the platform include:
-
Opportunities – search tools showing live vacancies/courses/placements for apprenticeships, universities (in the UK and abroad), FE, virtual work experience and much more
-
Applications – tools to help students build applications for a range of pathways (e.g., CVs, Personal Statements, Common App Essays)
When students are introduced to Unifrog, they will have an assembly, followed by a welcome email from Unifrog so that they can access the platform for the first time using a sign-up link. They login to Unifrog using their school email address and can then set their own password. They can do so from any computer, tablet or smartphone. We would encourage you to use the platform with your child so you can support them through the process of deciding their next steps.
