Extra funding for career leaders and networks
The government has announced it will expand the work it is doing to strengthen careers guidance in schools.
Published last December, the DfE's careers strategy put in £4 million to train a “careers leader” in 500 schools, and £5 million to set up 20 networks to bring schools and employers together.
Education Secretary Damian Hinds announced at the Conservative conference in Birmingham on 2 October that an extra £5m will be put into the government's careers strategy, doubling the number of areas served by employer networks from 20 to 40.
The government will also expand the training places available to support new careers leaders in schools and colleges from 500 to 1300.
In addition, the National Careers Service website is being refreshed and improved to ensure that it better meets the needs of young people and adults.
