Free Resources

Please note that I'm only a single person compiling these resources and do so without payment. Therefore I simply don't have the time to go back over links and see if they are still current. Therefore, I've decided that given the CEC now has a fantastic searchable database of careers resources, I'm no longer updating these boards.
I shall leave them up for those that wish to still use them but I urge you to have a look at the CEC database

Careers Defender acts as a hub for careers learning, her Pinterest boards link to free and paid for resources that cover lots of different areas. Inclusion doesn't infer endorsement. Feel free to have a look around and use the free resources.
