Employer Engagement In Education

This report was undertaken for CfBT by the Education and Employers Taskforce. It reviews existing and new evidence about how employer engagement can improve on the learning and progression of young people. The report highlights clearly the need for schools and colleges to embrace a broader range of employer engagement activities, and provides new perspectives in setting out the high value of employer engagement as a means of providing young people with access to reliable information which has the potential to influence thinking and behaviour.

Career Guidance in Colleges

This report from the Association of Colleges shows many students are not receiving high-quality careers guidance. The purpose of the study was to determine the feasibility of increasing and extending the co-location of the National Careers Service with Colleges; explore how increased co-location of National Careers Service provision could provide opportunities for closer working between Colleges, schools and Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) initiatives; and identify the potential for the development of College-based career hubs.
