For young people and their parents/guardians:
- We have recently launched our new Wales-wide live chat with expert career advisers. This service is available Monday to Friday and is available for young people in schools and colleges, parents/guardians and those children who are normally home-schooled. It's an opportunity for them to discuss any concerns they have about the next steps and their future options.
- We are in the process of developing our home-schooling resources. These are due to go live around Easter and will include a series of sector-specific webinars and lesson plans available to watch and download from our website.
To help adults with their employability needs, we are promoting vacancies on behalf of our partners and ensuring we are communicating the redundancy support we can provide to customers during this difficult time.
Over the coming weeks and months, we will be continuing to review and adapt our service delivery to ensure those who need our services can access them and get the support they need.
Please keep visiting our website and our social media channels for the latest information about accessing our services.

CAREERS RESOURCES AND LINKS
WeCare Wales Career Cards
To help showcase the various care roles available working with children and adults in Wales, we have launched WeCare Wales Career Cards.
Our Career Cards provide information about roles in care, working with children and adults in Wales. Each card has a unique QR code that links to more information on our website, including videos of real people sharing their experience of working in the roles. The cards also include further learning suggestions and discussion topics to expand learning and awareness of the sectors.
We are working hard to create a digital version of the cards and are hoping it will be available on our website later this year. If you would like a physical copy of WeCare Wales Career Cards for your school or setting, please contact us.
