The Careers Development Institute (CDI) has carried out the research, with support from Careers England, in a bid to inform the work of the new Careers and Enterprise Company, set up by education secretary Nicky Morgan earlier this year to foster links between business and education.
A total of 319 responses were received to the survey from secondary schools in England. Of these schools, only two-thirds said that they included careers education in the curriculum for students in years 9, 10 and 11.
