Born from a charitable trust, CareerPlayer is a multi-award winning website designed to help students figure out what they want to do.
It's also a free resource to help career services provide engaging and interactive information about different industries and career paths.
One of the key features of CareerPlayer is the biggest career video library online. All of the videos have been funded by us to ensure editorial independence and an honest account of industries and job roles.
Many career services have asked how they can take advantage of this resource and make it quick and simple for students to access the CareerPlayer video library. As a result we've created a simple desktop icon that hyperlinks directly to CareerPlayer. Instructions on how to download this icon are below.
Downloading the CareerPlayer shortcut to your desktop takes less than a minute and is incredibly straightforward. It will create a simple graphic that sits on the computer desktop and links to our video library. Simply follow the instructions below or print them off for easy reference:
