Peoplehawk For Irish Schools
Guidance in Action — across the whole school
PeopleHawk helps Guidance Counsellors deliver a more structured, personalised and connected approach to guidance across the Vocational, Educational and Personal pillars of the Whole School Guidance Framework.
Designed to support the ALL, SOME and FEW, PeopleHawk brings together personalised guidance, Schemes of Work, Career Readiness Journeys and practical digital tools in one integrated platform.
Personalised Guidance That Goes Beyond Interests
Future Pathways Report
Help students understand themselves before asking them to make important decisions about their future. The Future Pathways Report brings together Values, Interests, Personality and Problem-Solving Skills to provide a richer, science-based approach to career discovery and matching.
Students receive personalised insight into:
- Their strengths and what motivates them
- Subject Choice Recommendations
- Their strongest Career Clusters
- Matching careers and future pathways
- The environments in which they are most likely to thrive
- Practical next steps
Use it across the platform — or as a standalone programme
Schools can also purchase the Future Pathways Report for complete year groups or cohorts, supported by five ready-to-use lessons. This gives schools the flexibility to introduce Future Pathways to a specific group, such as Transition Year, without needing to implement the full PeopleHawk platform.
A Structured Career Journey for Every Student.
PeopleHawk supports individual student Career Journeys across the platform, helping schools connect guidance activities rather than deliver them as isolated interventions.
Students can progress through a connected journey that helps them:
✅ Discover Themselves
Understand their interests, strengths, values and abilities.
✅ Explore Possibilities
Investigate Career Clusters, careers, subjects, courses and pathways.
✅ Plan Their Next Steps
Use Subject Choice Supports, course exploration and an Editable Work Plan.
✅ Prepare for Transition
Build CVs, practise interviews and develop confidence for college, training or employment.
This creates a clearer progression across Junior Cycle, Transition Year and Senior Cycle, while allowing Guidance Counsellors to tailor support by year group and student need.
Ready-to-Use Guidance Programmes.
Schemes of Work supported by 250+ integrated lessons
PeopleHawk gives Guidance Counsellors access to structured Schemes of Work underpinned by more than 250 integrated lessons and activities.
Each lesson can include:
- Lesson Plan
- Presentation Slides
- Digital Student Worksheet
Guidance Counsellors can follow complete Schemes of Work or select individual lessons to complement their own programme.
Content supports areas such as Subject Choice, Transition Year, Career Exploration, Junior and Senior Cycle Key Skills, CVs, Interview Preparation, College Transition and Career Readiness.
PeopleHawk also maps these resources into Career Readiness Journeys, helping schools create connected progression across year groups rather than relying on one-off activities.
One Integrated Digital Platform.
Everything connected in one place
PeopleHawk brings together personalised guidance, career exploration, courses, skills, applications and opportunities within one integrated digital platform.
Students can:
- Explore 1,000+ careers through Career Explorer
- Search and compare 45,000+ Irish and UK courses
- Compare CAO and UCAS routes and points
- Explore Career Clusters and future pathways
- Build and improve their CV with AI support
- Practise interviews with AI-supported feedback
- Develop a digital profile and career e-portfolio
- Explore live jobs, apprenticeships, work experience and other opportunities
Guidance Counsellors can connect these tools with Schemes of Work, Career Readiness Journeys, personalised reports and student insights — creating a joined-up guidance experience rather than a collection of separate systems.
