Browse All ResourcesHow Student Access Works
Students under 18 can browse programs, role models, courses and entry-level jobs freely — no account needed. However, to access the full details of any opportunity, a parent, guardian, educator or teacher must hold the account and access that information alongside or on behalf of the student.
LinkUp Careers does not collect data from anyone under 18. All accounts are held by adults. This design keeps young people safe while keeping trusted adults involved at every step.
Classroom & Cohort Mode
Create a private classroom for your students. Each classroom gets a unique join code — students enter it when signing up and are automatically linked to your supervision. You can approve actions, view what students are exploring, and manage your cohort from a single dashboard.
- Generate a join code for your class
- Students reference the code at sign-up to link to your classroom
- Approve or decline sensitive actions from a single dashboard
- Remove students who leave your class

Taster Programs — Your Most Powerful Tool
The 'Try Before You Commit' model is one of the most effective ways to help young people — especially young women — overcome the fear of choosing a career path they know nothing about.
What Is a Taster Program?
A short, hands-on industry experience — typically a half-day or full day — where students try a real task in a real environment, guided by industry professionals. No prior knowledge or commitment required.
How to Find Them
- Log in to your educator account
- Browse Programs, filtered by industry and location
- Access full details including dates, provider and what's involved
- Share with students or register on their behalf
