What it does
This UK government resource provides career information, a skills assessment and course discovery. Readers can browse job profiles or choose their education and work situation to find relevant guidance. Its support page routes adult careers advice in England to the DWP Jobs and Careers Service.
Use the job profiles when you want to find out what a role actually involves. If you do not yet have a role in mind, the skills assessment offers a different starting point by asking about your interests and suggesting careers to investigate.
The site also separates advice by a reader’s current situation. That is useful when the next step is deciding between a first job, further study or progress in an existing role. Once you have identified a skill to develop, the course search can lead to online or nearby classroom learning. Keep those stages connected: identify the work, examine the preparation it needs and then look for training. The support page directs adults aged 18 or older living in England to DWP careers advice and lists separate career services for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
