U-Explore

Career & Employer Engagement online resource

Through our work with teachers and schools we have learnt that the major challenge to current teaching where the application of skills is paramount is that of being able to gain quality industry related links which enable students and teachers to gain a full insight into a range of organisations and their operations.

U-Explore is an employer engagement resource which provides the solution to this problem and adds benefit to a number of educational requirements throughout the 14-19 curriculum.

It provides inspirational, reality based, unbiased information from real employers and employees and takes you inside businesses to provide learners with an indepth understanding of and the opportunity to interact with national and local employers.

Accessed online, it brings businesses to life using cutting edge technology such as 360 degree curriculum based virtual tours, video case studies and individual profiles.
