Careers Advice

A Careers Focus session is open to any student from the age of 15+ including undergraduates and those in the early stages of their career. The session will begin with an assessment designed to highlight a students strengths, interests and academic ability. This is used as a starting point for a wider discussion in which our expert advisor would help match you to suitable career paths as well as suggesting possible further education or training that may be needed.

With so many different career paths to choose from it can be hard to know which one would suit you best. Added to this are the difficulties facing school leavers and graduates trying to get their career started during a time of recession. With so many graduates applying for the same vacancy, here at Gabbitas we can help you to make the most of a job application. By offering job search skills, CV and cover letter writing techniques as well as interview techniques we can help make your application stand out.

Alternatives to University

Many students do not relish the prospect of a further three years' study at university and the financial burden of tuition fees.  If you would like to know more about non-university options which might suit you better, our specialists can guide you on a range of alternatives and help you plan the next stage:

• Vocational training
• Foundation degrees
• Sandwich courses
• Work experience
• Career planning and guidance on non-graduate careers
• Gap year options
  

You can talk to a Gabbitas specialist, by appointment, either in our London offices or by telephone.  We can also advise by fax or email. In order to use our time with you effectively we ask you to fill out a form detailing your educational background, interests and achievements in advance of the consultation. This is so the consultant can prepare as thoroughly as possible.
