Welcome to the Careers Leaders information and resources page.   

Resources have been compiled by the Careers and Enterprise team.  Some resources have been created locally while others are available on the CEC resource directory and have been chosen for their relevance to our region. 

Supporting the Careers Leaders in their Role

The Careers and Enterprise education engagement team are here to help you understand your role and assist you in making an impact.  We understand that many Careers Leaders have different 'hats' within their education institute, and so we are here to provide resources and information to help you efficiently and effectively carry out this important role within your institute, and ensure that you are able to show progress and impact to not only your senior leadership team, but also school governors, and, when the time comes, Ofsted.

Strategy

Does your school/college have a vision statement?  Does it include careers?

What is in your school development plan?  What are your priorities?  How can careers help achieve these priorities?

How do you report on careers development?  How do you show SLT the outcomes of your work?

Audit your website Ensure your website is up to scratch, following best practice guidelines, and ready for audit with this helpful template
