The Secretary of State for Education, Damian Hinds, has announced a £2.5 million investment in expanding careers hubs, provided through the Careers and Enterprise Company.
The hub model brings together schools and college groups to provide career guidance and links with employers, universities, training providers and career professionals to improve outcomes for young people. The career hub model has outperformed the national average in all the Gatsby benchmarks and disadvantage areas have seen the biggest improvements.
