Supporting School Students' Future Careers
The Pay Index is here to help students to understand all of their options after leaving school.
The decision whether to go to university, take an apprenticeship or go straight into the workforce can be a difficult one. Access to accurate and timely information is a critical part of this decision making process. However, information about future salaries and job prospects for students deciding between apprenticeships, university and the workplace is difficult to find and hard to interpret.
That's where The Pay Index comes in - we provide up to date reports answering students' questions about future earning prospects, regional employment opportunities and the different paths based on career goals available for students after leaving school.
If you are 18 or over, and are interested in speaking to mentors who can advise you on careers in their industries (eg,banking and finance, technology, law etc) then find out more about our mentoring platform, inspo.
"This is an incredibly helpful tool that I wish I had before starting university to help me with understanding the variance of pay."
- Izzy, Student

- Where in the UK might they be able to find a job after completing their course?
