‘High quality careers education and guidance in school and college is critical to young people’s futures. It helps to prepare them for the workplace by providing a clear understanding of the world of work including the routes into jobs and careers that they might find engaging and rewarding. It supports them to acquire the self-development and career management skills they need to achieve positive employment destinations. This helps students to choose their pathways, improve their life opportunities and contribute to a productive and successful economy.’
