The Careers and Enterprise Company

The Careers & Enterprise Company (CEC) (www.careersandenterprise.co.uk) was set up by government in 2015 to inspire and prepare young people for the fast-changing world of work. Their role is to be the national network that connects schools and colleges, employers and careers programme providers to create high-impact careers opportunities for young people.

Marches Careers Hub

The Marches LEP works with its local authority partners to connect schools with businesspeople, develop effective careers guidance approaches and support delivery of Gatsby Benchmarks to improve outcomes for young people. In addition, it has recently secured funding to develop a Careers Hub which provides:

  • A Careers Hub Lead working with and supporting our Enterprise Coordinators across the Marches
  • A Central Hub Fund supporting the Hub in delivering its goals in line with the Marches Strategic Economic Plan and local priorities
  • Additional strategic support for schools and colleges through the development of a Careers Leads’ Community of Practice and a Cornerstone Employers’ Network. These groups will enable the sharing of best practice across the Marches region.
