How do you pick your career?
Hear from our guests about what influenced their choices, the options available to you after school, and why belonging in the workplace is so important. You’ll hear top tips about making post-16 career decisions, advice about avoiding career comparison and overcoming imposter syndrome, as well as our discussion of how you know you’ve picked the right path.
