Your recommendations

In Getting going with careers information we have focused on the importance of careers information and our expectations of what constitutes good or useful resources. We have looked a at a wide range of web based sources in the context of the energy and utilities industries. Now it is over to you.

Activity icon In this activity there are scenarios where you have been asked to recommend a resource(s) from a pre-prepared list to inform career decision making related to the energy and utilities industries. Using your knowledge of these sites, make a choice(s), then drag and drop your top four recommendations next to the scenario.
