We are excited to announce the launch of the Southend Vocational Profile, a new resource to support young people across Southend-on-Sea in achieving their aspirations for employment and the future.
The Southend Vocational Profile is a resource designed to support person-centred planning for young people aged 14 to 25. The tool enables young people to identify and articulate their aspirations for employment and the future. It is intended to be a working document that follows the young person throughout their journey.
We encourage all professionals working with young people to consider using the vocational profile as part of their planning and engagement.
Young people with an Education Health and Care (EHC) Plan in years 9 to 11, will be supported by Southend Careers Service (formerly Connexions) to complete their vocational profiles during this academic year. However, the Vocational Profile is an amazing tool that can support transition planning for all young people.
For more information, guidance and to download an interactive version of the Vocational Profile visit the Southend Careers Service website.
A plain text version of the Vocational Profile can be found here.
If you have any questions or would like support in implementing the vocational profile, contact the Southend Careers Service at careersguidance@southend.gov.uk
