Information for parents and carers
Young people today face a bewildering range of choices whether it’s further study or entering employment. Both education and the work environment are rapidly changing and evolving and
having independent and impartial careers advice is instrumental in making the right decisions.
The Career Place is a small team of professionally qualified career advisers who have a wealth of experience in advising young people at key transition stages.
How we can help your young person
Many schools use the Morrisby psychometric profile to generate career ideas by helping young people identify their interests and strengths and this can be a great starting point for our guidance interviews.
If Morrisby is not offered at your young person’s school, we can offer you individual access through The Career Place. We also deliver standalone career guidance, where preferred.
Testimonials
"As much as I was able to help my son with his decision making, to have someone qualified and impartial, support him to consider his options, was invaluable.
The Morrisby test was a great tool too. It provided very personalised results which enabled my son to discuss his strengths and interests in the context of HE and ultimately a career path.
As a family, we found the guidance incredibly useful. I would absolutely recommend to others."

"The adviser really helped my son by speaking with him in a warm, friendly manner, delivering a wealth of information in a short time with great enthusiasm and positivity.
She gave him invaluable advice for course choices going forwards into S6, gap year job opportunities and for university applications. He now feels confident and focussed having been given clear guidelines by the career adviser on how to research further into career opportunities and feels really motivated to study hard for his upcoming Highers."
