What people are saying about The b-live Foundation:

Young people...

“b-live is such a cool website! I and all my friends come on it every day. We learn so much about careers and part-time jobs as well!" Rebecca, Park School for Girls, Ilford

"I think b-live is an absolutely brilliant site; not just in terms of competition and fun (which is wicked by the way) but the career opportunities and CV building and much more. I like the fact that on this site you can be serious about the fun things and fun about the serious.” Nathaniel, Walton High School, Milton Keynes

“I got my GCSE results last week and I got into a grammar sixth form. They found my journalism experience on b-live.com impressive; so thank you once again!!” Ram, Holte School, Birmingham

“The careers information was particularly useful and has helped me make the decision to train to become a nurse and start a registered nurse programme for three years. I would like to progress after the nursing programme to train further to become a paramedic or a doctor.” Levi, Walton-le-Dale High School, Preston

And teachers...

“Since I have been involved with the careers side of education I have made so many discoveries about available resources, the b-live website is one of the best.” Denise Russell, Skills for Life Coordinator, Roade School, Northampton

“The b-live Foundation team has provided us with excellent support in delivering the information in a fun and informative way that appeals to all pupils. I would certainly recommend the b-live website to any school as I feel it adds value to the lives of our pupils in providing them with relevant data about future careers.” Stuart Shelton, PE Department, Lode Heath School, Solihull

- “I have already had a number of young people asking me about how they can move forward in terms of career choices. One student who has, and still does cause us problems, asked me for help so that he can improve his interview technique. It has made a difference to more students than I anticipated!” Brian Platts, Careers Coordinator, Bournville School, Birmingham
