Planit has some great tools and resources for helping students decide what their best study options at school are. By creating a Planit Portfolio sign up for free, they will have access to tools that help them decide:
- which subjects to choose to study at school (Subject Choice Tool)
- which further and higher education courses their subject choices at school can lead them to (Course Match Tool)
- which careers their subject choices at school can lead them to (Career Match Tool).
Don’t forget that we also have the Careers Pathway resources on Planit, so students can navigate their study route to the career of their choice - available on the Planit website without the need for a Portfolio account!
Here are the tools in more detail.
Subject Choice Tool
This interactive tool is suitable for pupils entering S3 to S6. It allows them to:
- choose what level of qualification they would ultimately like to study to
- choose up to 10 subjects, depending on their year
- view careers and job profiles relating to their choices.
If they have a Planit Portfolio account, they can even save up to six combinations of subjects.
