Through various activities and free materials designed to increase access and excellence in CEIAG, we will ensure that future generations of students will understand the links between courses, skills and the pathways they open up”.

Emma Hardy MP said, “Careers in schools is essential; yet hardworking teachers cannot do it all. It’s a positive partnership between employers, education and young people.
