National Careers Week 2025

A celebration of careers guidance and free education resources across the UK

National Careers Week 2025 takes place 3 to 8 March 2025

National Careers Week (#NCW2025) is all about getting young people up to speed with every option they can explore to get a job. The Week comes with free, high-quality, downloadable, digital and video resources for everyone to use.

All careers resources launched during and for the Week are hosted at the National Careers Week Virtual Careers Fair – an online hub which had more than 350,000 views and 43,000 downloads in 2024!

Alongside all our existing careers resources, free to download from our site, we’re excited to introduce a brand new resource called Unthink this!

It takes the form of a series of activities which showcases creativity as an essential part of engineering and technology roles. It encourages young people to have fun and use their imaginations to think outside of the box.
