Careers Guidance
Throughout your time at Hans Price , we aim to nurture your interests and support you all the way through school and beyond into the World of Work. Our Careers guidance and provision at Hans Price offers a wide range of experiences and opportunities to inform your aspirations for the future.
At Hans Price, we use Unifrog to support our Careers provision for all students. The system is used for all our Careers based sessions and supports tracking and destinations. The system can be accessed both in school and at home, and we promote all students to access the platform regularly to update their encounters with employers and track progress. To do this from home, please follow this link.
