What is Careerpilot?
Careerpilot is an award-winning, one-stop careers website for students, parents and teachers. Careerpilot can be used by students from Year 7–13 in schools and colleges. The site helps students develop career skills so students can manage their career decisions as they go through life. We do this through showing students the three-stages they can always follow whenever they make a careers decision.
- Start with you
- Explore your options
- Plan your next step
The site includes tools and activities students can use at every stage of this process, as well as information and advice on all progression pathways and on 900+ job profiles, which include national and regional Labour Market Information.
The Careerpilot package includes the:
- Student Zone
- Parent Zone
- Adviser Zone
- Reporting Zone
- and an optional add-on - the Pathway Planner - a triage tool to assess the guidance needs of Y10 + students.
What does a school or college get for their subscription?
- Access to all the tools and resources available in the 4 Zones and the Pathway Planner triage tool
- Your school will be added to the list so that when your students register they can add themselves to your school/ college and then you will be able to see all data and reports generated when they use the Career Tools - useful in supporting students to effective progression and to help meet Gatsby.
- You can set up all staff and career guidance advisers with access so they can see reports for their group, add a record of reports/tutorials and add agreed actions to a student's account - this can be viewed by the student and any staff member with access to that student- so they can support students on the career journey.
- The full Career Tools report and adviser/staff comments can be downloaded and sent to a parents/tutor.
- With access to the Pathway Planner you can assess the guidance needs of your students, at three levels, make bookings in the system, track destination pathways and evidence how your interventions have supported student's progression
- Access to all our training webinars
- Access careers resources through the Adviser Zone Members' Area that will help with Gatsby - including subject specific resources, 5 week careers programmes for every year group, 20 minute activities to use in tutor time and Hot Jobs LMI posters and images.
- Access to the Super User process- schools/colleges can become Super Users by meeting 3 criteria to unlock extra resources and preferential access to live career webinars for parents e.g. choices at 16, 18, etc.

How can I subscribe to Careerpilot?
Students can create an account and then log in to use their Career Tools to personalise their choices, save quiz results and build their report - which moves up annually and can be 'ported' to another provider. If your school is in the funded area or is a subscriber, students will be able to add themselves to your school or college at registration (your provider's name will be added to the drop-down list) and all the data they generate as they build their Career Tools report will be available for you to view in the Reporting Zone.
Subscribers also have access to all the amazing resources in the Adviser Zone e.g. five career lessons for every year group, Hot Job LMI posters and activities, etc.
Parents have access to the Careerpilot Parent Zone - which has answers to questions parents are frequently asking.
Many schools in the South are eligible for FREE access to Careerpilot and the Pathway Planner
If you are a state secondary school in Cornwall, Devon, Somerset, Bath and North East Somerset, Bristol, North Somerset, South Gloucestershire, Gloucestershire, Wiltshire or Swindon and some schools in Berks, then access to all 4 zones of Careerpilot and the Pathway Planner will be free. The reason the site is free-to-use in this region is because a number of universities, Uni Connect projects and Careers Hubs pay subscriptions to fund this.
Please check whether your school already has a subscription and how to get a login if you haven't got one. If you already have a Careerpilot admin login sign in now.
