A poll of 843 teachers has also found that more than half feel that previous experience of business is important to delivering careers advice.
The YouGov study, commissioned by Pearson College, comes at a time when careers services in schools are struggling.
The government handed the responsibility for delivering careers advice to schools in September 2012 when it cut the funding behind the national network of Connexions centres. None of the estimated £200 million cost of providing services was given to schools.
The poll also found that 81 per cent of the teachers feel school visits by business people are an important part of business engagement with schools, while 85 per cent still value the opportunity for student work placements.
