Today we’ve got an important brief with National Careers Week to celebrate their brilliant initiative that offers careers guidance and free resources in education across the UK. Their aim is to provide a focus for careers guidance activity at an important stage in the academic calendar to help support young people leaving education.

About #NCW2020
With youth unemployment remaining high and employers citing that young people are ill prepared with the basic skills needed for employment, there has never been a more need for careers guidance to be promoted and celebrated in education. National Careers Week is a great platform to inform and inspire the next generation as they enter the world of work.
National Careers Week takes place between the 2nd and 7th of March 2020, encouraging education providers to bring together students, local employers and advisers through careers events and activities.
What NCW does
EMPOWERING STUDENTS
Providing quality free CEIAG resources and linking education with the world of employment to ensure students get an important insight to the future of work and further learning. Better informed students result in better decision making.
EMPOWERING EDUCATORS & ADVISERS
All of our resources are free to use in classrooms and colleges. You can be assured that by being mapped against the Gatsby Benchmarks, they will enhance and support the work you do. Our website shares some great case studies of how teachers and advisers around the UK have been inspiring young people during Careers Week – feel free to get some ideas.
EMPOWERING ORGANISATIONS
The opportunities for organisations to promote their training or careers opportunities to future generations are limited; schools and colleges have little time for extended CEIAG activities. This is why NCW is so important – we create the time and provide the opportunity for Organisations to engage and inspire.
We believe in the power of Careers, Education, Information, Advice and Guidance as a driver of change within society, improving life choices and empowering people to take control of their future. All it takes is a pledge, a commitment to provide an insight or opportunity. If we all make a pledge, we passionately believe by working together we can make a real difference in 2020 and beyond.
