Free careers support service for secondaries and FE colleges

The Council has introduced a free careers support service for secondary schools and FE colleges.

Funded by the Skills for Employment programme, the service will provide one day of expert advice and support to cover one or more requirements of the national Careers Strategy chosen by the school or college.

Alternatively, a school or college might request a 'Mocksted' assessment of its Careers programme and provision. The service will be delivered by Career Seekers Direct. 

Careers Leaders in all secondary schools and colleges were informed about the service in September and have until the end of March 2020 to engage with Career Seekers Direct and receive the support.
