National Careers Week 2026

Taking place on 2 to 7 March 2026, National Careers Week is the annual celebration of careers guidance in education across the UK.

Inspire your students

We've gathered together careers themed Neon experiences to help you inspire and inform your students.

From introducing younger learners to the exciting world of engineering and technology to guiding older students through the many career paths and entry routes, Neon has everything you need.

To support these experiences, we've also curated a range of career resources and inspiring case studies, perfect for celebrating engineering and technology careers with your students during National Careers Week 2025
