UNIFROG
Unifrog is an impartial, one-stop Careers platform and a great place to start researching your career and building a CV. Students can access information about a wide range of different careers, learn how to get into certain sectors (qualifications and skills required) and research the prospects within those sectors (projected growth/decline).
All Ringwood School students are provided with a Unifrog account and we make time in school for students to update their Unifrog platform and to complete research, in order to develop their individual career plan.
Unifrog also contains videos and other useful information such as:
• Access information about post-16 study options, apprenticeships and universities
• Keep a journal of their achievements and how their employability skills are developing
• Record careers action plans
• Keep useful links to other careers related information sources in one place
• Record action points from meetings with careers advisors and other key staff
• Build CVs, prepare applications for university and apprenticeships
• Work experience opportunities
We encourage students (and parents) to use Unifrog at home to ensure they get the most out of it.
