Step 4 Review progress to keep on track.

To help you and your child navigate the steps, Inspira has created a number of packages which can be combined or bought individually.

A

Information & Advice For those who need some practical advice about where to start, this simple 30 minute phone or web chat with a professional career adviser can help set you on the right track. For only £30, this half an hour session has proven invaluable for so many young people.

B

Psychometric profile, and 30 minutes coaching session This career management tool measures ability and seeks to understand personality aspects which are important indicators of employability skills. The Development Report and follow-up coaching session will help your child think about how well prepared they are for the world of work and suggest ideas as to how they can develop the employability skills they will need for a successful career. The 45 minute test is taken online; with a 30 minute follow-up face to face coaching session for £50. The Psychometric test can be taken without the coaching session for £20.

C

Guidance session with action plan For those who want in-depth professional advice and detailed help to develop their career management action plan, this one hour individual guidance workshop is the perfect solution and works well with both package A and package B. Exploring interests, aspirations and how your child can meet them, this one hour workshop includes a written action plan to help your child keep on track with their plans and aspirations, and a follow up call to see how they are progressing. This option costs £60.

Inspira offers young people expert help to choose their next steps, a range of practical support to implement their plans, and career management skills that equip them for later life. Additional consultation sessions can be purchased as and when required.

As many as 18.5% of 18-24 year olds were unemployed in 2013. It is more important than ever that young people have access to high quality career management and guidance.
