Careers Guidance

This is statutory guidance from the Department for Education (the department) issued under Section 45A of the Education Act 1997. Maintained schools and academies in England must have regard to it when carrying out their duty to ensure that there is an opportunity for a range of providers to access pupils to inform them about technical education and apprenticeships. Maintained schools, academies, further education colleges and sixth form colleges must also have regard to it when carrying out their duty or funding requirement to provide pupils with independent careers guidance.

 

 

Skills for Jobs

This White Paper sets out how we will reform further education so it supports people to get the skills our economy needs throughout their lives, wherever they live in the country. Focusing post-16 skills on this core mission will increase productivity, support growth industries, and give individuals opportunities to progress in their careers. We will deliver this focus on jobs and growth by: • Putting employers at the heart of the system so that education and training leads to jobs that can improve productivity and fill skills gaps. • Investing in higher-level technical qualifications that provide a valuable alternative to a university degree. • Making sure people can access training and learning flexibly throughout their lives and are well-informed about what is on offer through great careers support. • Reforming funding and accountability for providers to simplify how funds are allocated, give providers more autonomy, and ensure an effective accountability regime which delivers value for money. • Supporting excellent teaching in further education.
