Careers guides for teenagers

Does anyone have any links to careers guides for teenagers in year 10/11 who are trying to make decisions for A levels/ beyond school?

my daughter is 15, when we were in school we got given a careers booklet with descriptions of lots of careers. I found it really useful in deciding which A levels to take.

When I search online it brings up loads of quizzes, Myer Briggs type things when all we want to do is read up on a few careers.

Daughter is pretty strong in maths and English but she has no idea what to aim for when she leaves school.

thank you

National Careers Service have an 'explore careers' section.

https://www.informedchoices.ac.uk/ and if their school has Unifrog, this is an excellent tool.

This is a bit of a random one, but my DD got a lot of help from this wellbeing app for teens called luna, you can ask an expert an anon question and also there's lots of articles about wellbeing but also growing up, making the right decisions, exams etc. etc. it's helped her gain confidence and figure out what she's into. Here's an example of an article that helped her out: https://weareluna.app/articles/confidence-and-motivation/how-to-make-the-right-choices/
