YOUR CAREER TOOLBOX: LCR BEMORE FEATURES SPOTLIGHT
We explore some of the most valuable tools from LCR BeMore for researching and developing a career…
To celebrate LCR BeMore’s second birthday in 2024, we explored eight great reasons to download the app. Just over a year later, the platform has been upgraded with several new and exciting tools and resources to help support you at every step of your career journey.
Here, we’ll explore some of the most valuable tools from LCR BeMore for researching and developing a career, giving you the most up-to-date information, advice and local support for success in the Liverpool City region.
Explore careers
Earlier this year, LCR BeMore launched thirteen brand-new career guides covering key sectors in the Liverpool City Region. These are designed to help people in the region make informed decisions about their career path. And they aren’t just simply an overview of jobs; they provide comprehensive background information, key statistics, and salary information on local industries, offering guidance on how to launch and develop a career within each one.
Stop endlessly googling and scrolling through AI-generated responses when researching your potential career path. Instead, download these guides, which provide everything you need to know and are easily accessible in one place here on the BeMore website.
Once you’ve identified a potential career path, you might want to explore local training and education opportunities available now to help you get into your desired industry. That’s where the new Course Finder comes in. It’s a search tool that adds all local training and education opportunities into one place. So you can now easily find information about courses and qualifications directly related to the career path you want to follow. Taking the steps to turn your career interest into positive action has never been easier.
Mapping out and connecting opportunities
Occupational maps for progression routes
Around for some time but as helpful as ever, the occupational maps available through LCR BeMore are a brilliant visual tool. They are basically occupational maps that group related jobs together, based on the shared knowledge, skills, and behaviours they require. Each role on the career or occupational map includes
- A job summary
- An average salary
- What knowledge and skills you need for the role
- How to progress to the next career level in the field
This means users can use it as a career-navigation tool to identify transferable skills, clearly seeing where a current role could lead to a higher-level apprenticeship or a more senior job. They are also helpful for those looking to enter the workforce, highlighting career starter apprenticeships. The map includes filter options, allowing users to customise it to suit their skills and interests.
The LCR BeMore Makerspace
The Liverpool City Region is known globally as a hub of creativity. Now, thanks to LCR BeMore’s “Makerspace”, you can use an interactive map to locate collaborative creative spaces across the region to co-create, share knowledge, and work on projects. The map even allows you to filter by available equipment, ensuring you find the space best suited to your creative needs.
And these locations go beyond being just physical workspaces for creatives. The Makerspace network can also be a valuable way to expand your creative industry network and connect with others through co-working.
Dedicated health & social care vacancies listings
Many LCR BeMore users already know that we distribute a weekly bulletin of health and social care job and apprenticeship vacancies in the region. This is an established and hugely popular feature on the website and in the LCR BeMore app. Seeking out local vacancies in one sector can sometimes be a challenge: bookmark this page and save job hunting time! No more checking multiple websites.
Save the LCR BeMore health vacancies link to your favourites to ensure you don’t miss the latest vacancies!
So, if you’re exploring career options, searching for training opportunities, visualising your future career path, finding creative spaces, or looking for local vacancies, you’ve got a full toolkit available to you via the LCR BeMore website and app. They bring everything together in one accessible, handy place.
