Help young people kick-start their careers with Future You – a free careers app for 13-21 year olds in Norfolk. Using skills, aptitudes and qualifications, Future You can help young people identify their ideal careers in one of Norfolk’s six leading growth sectors.
Future You is a completely free careers guidance app, developed for young people, by young people. The app is available for both Apple phone users and Android and there is also an online web tool.
The app is designed to help young people recognise the wealth of career opportunities available to them right on their doorstep in Norfolk. Norfolk has six leading growth sectors which provide a vast range of career prospects.
We have identified the six leading growth areas as follows:

The app takes interests, skills and aptitudes and provides link to advice and support on what different jobs are available within each growth sector, it identifies the career pathways that are available and what steps to take. There is also support in creating the perfect CV, preparing for an interview as well as highlighting the latest apprenticeships and traineeships available to them and much more.
