Career Pathways

Warning Service update

We’re sorry to announce our Career Pathways service will be ending on 31 March 2025. We’ll no longer be taking new referrals from 1 January 2025.

Scope is still here for disabled people of all ages. Getting disabled people into fulfilling work is a strong priority for us.

You can find lots of information about leaving school or college in our advice and support area.

Career adviser sessions

You will be offered up to 3 one-hour sessions with a specialist career adviser to:

make you aware of all the career options and the employment routes open to you
develop your career goals and create an action plan to help you achieve them

Face-to-face support

If you live in London or Leeds, you can choose to have adviser sessions face-to-face or online.

If you live somewhere else in England or Wales, you can access the service online or by phone.

My adviser was supportive, accessible and kind. I had an initial idea of where I wanted to go with my goals, which she then built on to explore careers and give me specific advice that I hadn't received from any other careers service. We went through my career values, explored options using several tools and she allowed me plenty of time to talk about my experiences.

Careers sessions for students

If you are a school, college or university and would like to discuss offering Career Pathways sessions to your student, please get in touch.

The main thing I've noticed is the confidence that students have gained - it is clear you have helped to alleviate their anxieties and given them clear direction, which is so important at this transitional moment in their academic careers.
