Today marks the official launch of Caerus, an innovative new skills planning platform designed to transform the way individuals approach careers guidance. Unveiled at an exclusive event at Market Hall, Devonport, Caerus has been developed in collaboration with leading employers, education institutions, and community members. The platform incorporates interactive future thinking, enabling users to explore evolving career landscapes and anticipate industry trends, ensuring they are equipped for the jobs of tomorrow.
Caerus embraces an holistic approach, helping users explore their strengths, interests, and potential career opportunities through interactive workshops, engaging animated roadmaps, and comprehensive workbooks. It aims to bridge the gap between education and industry, offering personalised guidance to identify ideal career pathways. Whether for students, educators, or employers, Caerus is positioned to benefit all by shaping the skilled workforce of tomorrow.
The groundbreaking platform has been meticulously designed to support individuals at every stage of their educational and career journey, from primary school through to higher education and beyond. Through a series of interactive features, including industry-specific roadmaps for sectors like healthcare and engineering, Caerus promotes social mobility, equity, and inclusion, while addressing key skills gaps in critical industries.
Chief Executive of City College Plymouth, Jackie Grubb, said of the innovative new resource: “The launch of Caerus is a pivotal moment in our commitment to providing equal opportunities for everyone, not just in Plymouth but nationally and internationally. Caerus offers more than just a pathway to career success – it’s a tool designed to bridge skills gaps and drive inclusion across key sectors. The potential for Caerus to make an impact is significant, and I’m excited to see how it will shape career aspirations across the UK and beyond.”
The launch event featured keynote speeches, interactive workshops, and a demonstration of the platform within Market Hall’s immersive dome. Industry experts and educators gathered to explore the platform’s ability to shape the future of careers guidance and ensure no one is left behind due to a lack of support or access to resources.
Jemma Flaxton, Assistant Head Teacher (Sixth Form) at Tor Bridge High, said: “We’ve already seen how Caerus is transforming career guidance for our students. By integrating education and industry insights, Caerus empowers young people to make informed decisions about their futures. It’s truly an exciting initiative, and we’re proud to be part of it.”
Caerus is set to become a vital resource, not only for local communities in Plymouth but also for individuals globally who seek to navigate their careers with confidence. By promoting equity and inclusion, Caerus will continue to support the next generation of skilled professionals in diverse industries, helping to create a more inclusive and empowered workforce.
