What is icanbea...?

icanbea... is a careers website and app aimed at 12-25 year olds across Norfolk and Suffolk. The site is completely free to use and it is administered by The Mason Trust as part of our charitable remit, with support from the local authorities.

The website highlights career options to young people which they may not have thought of previously and allows them to see the wide range of 500+ local organisations on the site that they could potentially work for. icanbea... provides information about industries and what they offer, it allows young people to like and follow those industries and organisations that interest them. The website has live opportunities including apprenticeships, full/part time jobs, volunteering and work experience that young people can apply for. 

What the team can do for you

We work with schools/colleges/job centres/training providers in both counties to help students and job seekers find out about local organisations and the opportunities they have to offer.

Workshops
The workshops are tailored to fit in with your school day and the year group you have in mind. If required we can run back to back sessions which will enable us to deliver to a whole year group in one day. We ask that all students have access to computers, laptops or tablets so they can use the website themselves, we also need a projector or screen to allow us to demonstrate the site. 

The type of workshop sessions offered are:

• 30 minute session(s) include going through the careers wizard and generally running through the website and how it can help
• 1 hour session(s) include going through the careers wizard, generally running through the website, information regarding apprenticeships (dependent on year group), and interactive careers exercises / games (if requested)
• 1 hour session(s) focusing on using various tools to create a basic CV from scratch
• All of the 1 hour sessions can also include some information on employability skills, job hunting and interview tips - if you would like us to incorporate these elements

Careers Fair attendance
We are not generally attending school / college careers fairs at the moment, although the team occasionally attends some larger events.  Our resource is currently prioritised for interactive classroom-based workshops.  Feel free to ask about our availability for the event you have in mind.
