NorthQuest — Career Guidance for Every Student

Trusted by

Give Your Students More Clarity About Future Career Pathways

NorthQuest's technology gives every student aged 15+ a first conversation before the human conversation. Career advisors don't start cold. Instead they start with a profile of each student, their interests, career routes suited specifically for them and better questions.

The Quiet Student Should Not Be The Easiest To Miss

NorthQuest helps every type of student turn their reflection into a personalised Career Guide. Advisers should don't have to start their discussions cold.

Too Many Students, Too Little Time

One careers lead. 300+ students. Meaningful conversations happen with fewer than 50. The rest get nothing.

Evidence Is Often Scattered

Adviser notes, student reflections and cohort themes are all captured in one place.

Parents Want Specificity

When families ask “what routes is my child exploring?”, your team has a student-specific answer.

NorthQuest suggests Career routes. it does not assign a child to a Fixed future

Most schools reach only 1 in 6 students with meaningful 1:1 career guidance. 7 out of 10 adults surveyed regret their career choice. NorthQuest enables career counsellors to have more effective discussions.

"I built NorthQuest because most kids never receive a proper careers conversation. It's not that schools don’t care but they are in a system that asks a tiny team to deeply understand hundreds of students. What's crazy is we are entering a time of radical technological change and jobs that exist now are about to be altered drastically. NorthQuest's technology can give students much better awareness of how this change will afftect careers without adding extra workload for staff"
