<p>At upReach, we passionately believe in empowering young people through education, networks and skill sharing, which is why we created our Aspire guide.</p> <p>A free 64-page guide and online Career Video Library, Aspire is designed to help your students understand their post-18 options. Distributed to more than 2,800 state schools across the UK, it provides advice, inspiration and information on a range of post-18 opportunities, from university to school leaver programmes and apprenticeships. Featuring exclusive guidance from experts across a range of sectors, advice on student loans and budgeting, top CV tips and advice on wellbeing management, Aspire was created to help your students make informed decisions about their future.</p> <p>Alongside the guide, we also provide a teacher toolkit to ensure your students are getting the most value out of this resource, including a 15-minute Assembly Presentation, a shorter, 5-minute presentation for Daily Notices and an easy-to-use Teacher Guide and Script.</p>

<p>Produced by the social mobility charity upReach, Aspire is a set of resources providing state school post-16 students with free information, advice and inspiration to help them better understand all their career and further education options.</p> <p>The 64-page Aspire Guide provides a comprehensive overview of different post-18 options, from university to school leaver programmes and apprenticeships, as well as careers advice and inspiration. Fully updated for 2022/24, the Guide also showcases important role models: students who have come from less-advantaged backgrounds and broken into careers that can otherwise seem hard to reach.</p> <p>To support teachers in maximising this resource, upReach have also developed a teacher toolkit of ready-made assembly presentations and scripts to accompany the Guide. Using this toolkit, teachers have the flexibility to deliver a post-18 careers assembly for their students that lasts anywhere from 5 minutes to 35 minutes.</p>
