More Information

ELATT is a member of Careers Collaborative, a Hackney-based organisation that makes sure we keep up to date with Labour Market Information (LMI) so that we know we are teaching you the skills that employers need.

Through Careers Collaborative we have access to weekly newsletters telling us about all Apprenticeships, Supported Internships and support for young people with Special Education Needs in the east London area. Through this you can be sure that you’ll know about all the options available to you.

National Careers Service

The National Careers Service provides high quality, free and impartial careers advice, information and guidance. Their service is available to anyone aged 13+ no matter what stage of the careers journey you’re at.

How it works

1. Join a workshop

Check the weekly timetable from your tutor and join via Zoom. 

2. Book a one-to-one

Complete the employability form to be allocated to an adviser; we’ll meet you on Zoom and get you job-search ready. 

3. Practise & apply

We’ll support applications and interview practise. When you get an offer, tell us so we can celebrate and report outcomes that fund the service.

This is available for all ELATT students (Adults and Sixth Form), at any stage of their career journey.
