Quickline is helping young people across Yorkshire and Lincolnshire explore career opportunities, develop key skills, and gain real-world insights into different industries by giving access to a new virtual work experience portal being rolled out across the region.
Aimed at students aged 13 to 19, it encourages career conversations, industry engagement, and informed decision-making about future career paths.
The platform, launched in partnership with creative education specialist Engaging Education, coincides with National Careers Week (March 3rd-8th), a nationwide initiative promoting career education and guidance.
Alongside career guidance, the interactive portal provides challenges, quizzes, and practical advice and real first-hand insights from professionals working in fields including engineering, HR, marketing, and data analysis.
The resource also supports job seekers aged 19+, with access via youth hubs, job centres, and community organisations to boost employability.
Michael Evans, Project and Partnerships Manager at Engaging Education, said: “This portal provides a singular, 'go-to’ location users can access individually or in groups and gives them real world insight into careers within a successful business.”
The portal is free for educational establishments across Yorkshire and Lincolnshire and forms part of Quickline’s social value commitment within Project Gigabit.
