Helping students into the world of work:

For employers, working with the education sector is a vitally important way to support young people in finding their best next step.  It is also a way for businesses to connect with the next generation and play an active role in helping shape the skills of tomorrow’s workforce.

We work with schools, colleges and employers to help every young person find their best next step: https://www.careersandenterprise.co.uk/employers/
