Deciding what to do next after leaving school/college can be daunting if you’re not sure what career you want. We’ve compiled a list of local careers fairs and events coming up around Merseyside and Greater Manchester to help you explore your options. https://ow.ly/xE1b50ToTe4

The old saying "if you fail to prepare, then prepare to fail" is never more relevant than before a school or college visit. There's no point talking to a group of Year 12s about Math degrees when no one is doing A level Maths. In order to engage young people, you need to deliver content relevant to them. At Datafiltr, you can prepare for every school or college visit in minutes. All the relevant data about size of 6th form, subject and qualifications offered by the school and historical University destinations from previous 6th form cohorts (these are just a few data points) are available to you, all in one place. Why not try our demo. We are currently offering a free month trial.
