TikTok launches first TikTok LIVE Careers Week with Indeed, UCAS and The Prince’s Trust

Whether it's giving a window into their 9 to 5 or how to move into a new industry, there's a dedicated and growing movement around #Careers on TikTok.

It's not just about the corporate office either. From #FarmTok to #PostiesofTikTok and #STEM, there are huge communities of creators offering their honest thoughts on their jobs - the highs, lows, and perks of their field. Our TikTok community can discover new industries and get the inside scoop of what a job entails, regardless of their background and what stage they're at in their career. Hashtags such as #careertips#jobsearchtipsand #careersadvice have generated thousands of creations on TikTok, providing a new forum for younger generations to ask questions and get a flavour of the jobs and careers that they may wish to pursue.

With #Careers (90.9k creations) content on the platform continuing to thrive, we are thrilled to announce our first TikTok LIVE Careers Week on TikTok, in partnership with Indeed, UCAS and the The Prince's Trust .

With A Level and GCSE results being published later this month, Indeed, UCAS and The Prince's Trust will be launching a week of career events on TikTok LIVE to help young people get excited about their future careers and job opportunities. Whether it's learning about how to negotiate your salary, what to expect on results day, or interview prep advice, these virtual conversations will ensure those at the start of their careers can get helpful tips from experts about how to take the next stage.

So, without further ado, here is the full schedule for our first TikTok LIVE Careers Week . . .
