Online Support for parents and students when choosing options- 

We are mindful that the students need to have up to date careers and labour market information to help with their option choices.  To enable you to make sure you have up to date careers information please find below the two reliable and relevant sites that we use within school.  

UNIFROG  

Students in year 9 are completing options lessons in C42 using an online portal called unifrog.  Each student will have a personal account and will spend 2 lessons online completing a personality and skills profile. The following video will explain how the students will be using unifrog this year and will help you to navigate this together should you wish. 

Creating a parent account-  

Code – Unifrog

  • Code parents will need to use is: CLVCparents  
  • This code is valid for a 90 day period so there’s plenty of time for parents to get involved over the whole term.  This code effectively acts like a one-time pass code so any parent signing up will only need to use it once the first time they login.  
  • Parents need to click on the words ‘use it here’ in this box on the right hand side of the ‘sign in’ page.  

If you watch the following video this will help you navigate the site should you wish to research jobs and career areas your child is considering in the future. (The careers library and subjects library will be of particular interest).

CAREERS PILOT
