Backed by funding from the Cabinet Office and the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills, the Plotr website aims to provide careers advice and guidance through a platform that is familiar to young people, replicating the style of social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter.
Charities including the Ideas Foundation and the Institute for Education Business Excellence, as well as large companies including McDonald’s, Serco, Universal Music and Centrica are supporting the tool, and government is encouraging more to get involved.
