FOR TUTORS
Using Careerpilot as part of a whole school careers programme
What to do and when?

www.careerpilot.org.uk
The first thing all students should do is REGISTER or SIGN IN (if they have used before)
It is great for students to explore the site and follow their interests but here are a few specific activities which will help them to start making decisions as they move through the years.
In Career Tools (if they are signed in) they can save all their choices and these will move up with them every year and can be reviewed and changed.
In the Careerpilot Reporting Zone (schools can request free access) schools can see the choices students are interested in, add comments to an individual, download group reports, etc.
