Careers Clusters

Improving the quality of CEIAG in schools to help pupils make a successful transition from school to further study, employment or training

Funded by

 

Overview

As part of our increasing portfolio of careers information, advice and guidance contracts, we deliver Careers Clusters in the London Borough of Croydon and the London Borough of Hillingdon.

The Careers Clusters help facilitate sustainable relationships between local schools, colleges, employers and Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) to support the work readiness of pupil groups from within designated schools. Careers Clusters focus on increasing the number of pupils who make a successful transition from school to further study, employment or training by improving the quality of CEIAG in schools.

Careers Clusters are part of the Mayor’s European Social Fund (ESF) 2019 - 2023 programme, supporting students age 11-19 and up to age 25 for students with SEND (Special educational needs and disabilities).
