Independent guidance for your next step
NextStep UK

Schools & organisations

Support young people, with their consent.

Draft: this page is being finalised and is pending formal review. The information here reflects our current approach; if anything is unclear contact us and we'll help.

Careers leads and teachers

NextStep UK is free for schools, colleges, careers services and youth organisations. Any young person can use every feature independently — no institutional login needed.

What's coming for advisers

  • Adviser accounts that a young person can invite in to see their progress — with clear, revocable consent, and never behind their back.
  • Assembly-ready overviews of live apprenticeship opportunities in your local area.
  • Downloadable classroom resources for the quiz and application process.

Get involved

We're looking for schools and youth organisations to help shape the adviser features. Email schools@nextstepuk.example to join the pilot.
