Career Confidence Check

Understand how confident your students feel about their next steps

Run a Career Confidence Check with an agreed group of students. Each student receives a personalised careers report, while your school receives an anonymous summary of the shared picture.

See confidence before and after the report, career clarity, intended routes and the areas where additional support may be most valuable.

What your school receives
Career Confidence Check

Measure how confident students feel about their next steps before they begin and again after they have reviewed their personalised report.

Personalised student reports

Give every participating student a report connecting their interests, subjects and preferred activities with relevant careers and pathways.

Anonymous school summary

See combined patterns in confidence, career clarity, intended routes and subject interests without seeing who gave each answer.

Actionable cohort insight

Identify the year groups or areas where careers lessons, guidance conversations and employer encounters may have the greatest value.

Confidence change over time

Compare before-and-after confidence scores and establish whether participating students feel clearer after receiving guidance.

Routes and opportunity data

Support discussion of university, apprenticeships and employment with current regional vacancy, salary and graduate-market information.

Practical next steps

Use the findings to shape future careers activity and give students practical resources for continuing their exploration.

From insight to action

The Career Confidence Check does not replace conversations with students. It gives careers teams a clearer starting point for deciding which conversations, lessons and employer encounters are needed.

Certyz can also support evidence of informed career and labour-market learning and guidance tailored to students' needs.

  • 47% were considering an apprenticeship or degree apprenticeship.
  • University was the most selected individual route at 38%.
Suggested focus

Start with the students who are least certain.

Prioritise Year 10 guidance, provide targeted support for students who are still exploring and increase awareness of apprenticeship and degree-apprenticeship opportunities.

School questions

What careers teams usually want to know

Do we need a sales call before starting?

No. We can confirm the cohort, timing and access arrangements by email. If you would prefer to talk first, you can request a conversation.

Do students need accounts?

No. Students enter through the agreed school access route and complete the assessment without supplying a personal name or email address.

What can school staff see?

Authorised staff see anonymised, aggregated patterns such as participation, confidence, career clarity and intended routes. Individual assessment answers are not presented as named student records.

Does the pilot renew automatically?

No. There is no credit card and no automatic renewal. Any continuation is discussed and agreed separately.
