Unifrog: A Guide for Students and Parents/Carers

Unifrog is an online careers and destinations platform used by The National Academy to support students and families with career exploration, decision-making, and future planning. It brings together careers information, post-16 and post-18 pathways, and application tools in one place.

What can Unifrog help with?

- Exploring careers and job sectors through the Careers Library

- Researching post-16 options including sixth form, college, apprenticeships, and T Levels

- Comparing post-18 options such as university, degree apprenticeships, and employment

- Recording skills, achievements, and experiences

- Creating CVs and drafting personal statements

- Tracking applications and important deadlines

Getting started with Unifrog

Students receive their Unifrog login details through school. Once logged in, students should:

1. Complete their personal profile to tailor recommendations

2. Explore the dashboard and suggested activities

3. Save careers, courses, or opportunities that interest them

4. Regularly return to Unifrog to update progress and goals

How parents and carers can support

Parents and carers are encouraged to engage in careers conversations at home. You can support your child by:

- Asking them to show you what they have explored on Unifrog

- Discussing different pathways and keeping options open

- Encouraging regular use of Unifrog, not just at key decision points

- Supporting applications and preparation for interviews
