Peoplehawk For
UK Schools
One connected platform for careers, guidance and future readiness
PeopleHawk helps schools deliver a more structured, personalised and connected approach to careers education and guidance across the whole school.
From self-understanding and career exploration to courses, UCAS, skills, applications, work experience and employment, students can progress through one integrated digital platform — while Careers Leaders have the resources, insight and tools to manage delivery.
For schools in England, PeopleHawk can also help support careers provision aligned with the Gatsby Benchmarks.
Supporting the Gatsby Benchmarks
PeopleHawk brings together many of the activities and evidence schools need to strengthen careers provision across the Gatsby framework.
The platform can support areas including:
- A stable careers programme
- Career and Labour Market Information
- Personalised support for individual students
- Linking learning with careers
- Employer and workplace encounters
- Work experience
- Further and Higher Education exploration
- Personal guidance
Careers Leaders can use Work Plans, Schemes of Work, student insights and reporting to support planning, delivery and review across the school.
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 with a specific cohort
Schools can use Future Pathways as part of the wider PeopleHawk platform or purchase reports for a specific year group, supported by five ready-to-use lessons. This gives schools a flexible way to introduce personalised guidance at an important decision point without needing to implement the full platform.
A Structured Career Journey for Every Student.
PeopleHawk helps schools connect careers activities into a structured journey rather than deliver them as isolated interventions.
Students can progress through a connected journey that helps them:
✅ Discover Themselves
Explore their strengths, interests, personality and abilities.
✅ Explore Possibilities
Investigate Career Clusters, careers, subjects, courses and pathways.
✅ Plan Their Next Steps
Use course exploration, UCAS support and editable Work Plans to turn ideas into actions.
✅ Prepare for Progression
Build CVs, practise interviews and develop confidence for college, training or employment.
Build CVs, develop Personal Statements, practise interviews and prepare for further education, higher education, apprenticeships or employment. This gives Careers Leaders a clearer framework for supporting individual students, targeted cohorts and whole year groups.
Ready-to-Use Careers Programmes.
Schemes of Work supported by 250+ integrated lessons
