The all-in-one careers platform.
Find and apply for career opportunities, apprenticeships and work experience placements — and connect with employers for advice and industry insight.
Add one more piece of evidence to reach a strong profile.
A CV of grades doesn't show what you can actually do. Build an evidence-based profile that does — then use it to reach the employers you want to work for.
Reach organisations directly through the safeguarded messaging system.
Browse and apply for placements, apprenticeships and roles near you.
Show your work in video, photos and documents — not bullet points.
Everything you have evidenced, exportable as a PDF for any application.
Build a profile that shows your skills, experience and talents. Upload media and evidence of what you can do, tagging the skills as you go — then approach employers ready to show you are exactly what their business needs.
Employers can find you too, searching for the specific skills and experience they need.
Every connection is approved by your school mentor before it starts. After that you can talk freely — your mentor simply receives a copy. Startingpoint is fully encrypted and GDPR-compliant.
Ask to connect with an organisation you'd like to work with.
Approves first contact, then keeps a copy of everything that follows.
Sees your anonymised profile and evidence — never your personal details.
Work experience gives you hands-on insight into the industry you're aiming for. Starting a career can feel daunting — taking up the placements out there puts your mind at ease.
Browse suitable opportunities while businesses see your best assets, so the experience works for both of you.
Connect with industry experts offering honest advice on how to get into the career that inspires you — the path to take, the skills you need, and what the work is really like.
The web portal and mobile app keep all of it in one place, so you can find opportunities and reply to employers wherever you are.
Sport evidences discipline, resilience and teamwork better than most classrooms can. Turn training, matches and coaching into skills employers recognise — and plan the career that runs alongside, or after, the sport.
Volunteering is real work experience, and it belongs on your profile. Evidence the hours, the responsibility and the people skills, and connect with the not-for-profit organisations looking for exactly that.
Your school or college sets up your account. A whole school can be onboarded in about an hour — send them a demo.
