Compass+
Compass+ is a user-friendly digital tool designed specifically for educators, offering comprehensive resources and guidance to help you develop the future skills of your students.
The tool allows you to benchmark, manage, track and report on your school's careers provision at individual student level. Once populated with student data, Compass+ also allows staff to track individual student activities, interests and destinations, store careers partner contacts, and complete and analyse the Future Skills Questionnaires.
