Hello from the Careers Team West Sussex
The West Sussex County Council Careers Team has a wide range of experience working with young people across the county. We offer a seamless support service during the transition from school to a student’s next step.
We work with schools and sixth forms across West Sussex but can also accept self-referrals from individuals aged 16 to 25 struggling with what their next steps could be.
We also offer support to parents and careers who are trying to support their young people but need help navigating the many options open to them.
The work we do includes helping young people prepare for work, college apprenticeships, and traineeships; supporting them to create achievable goals and all the tools they will need to reach their full potential.

Our Careers Advisers can provide information, advice, guidance and support to young people Post-16 (school leavers) living in West Sussex and are NOT in education, employment or training (NEET). We may also be able to help if a young person is working or studying part-time (less than 16 hours). We can support a young person who has previously been on an EHCP up to the age of 25.
We can help young people to think about next steps, recognise your skills, strengths and ambitions and find out about local opportunities. If we are unable to support the young person, then we will sign post to an appropriate service.
