The Department for Education (DfE) has published new statutory guidance on careers advice as well as a dossier of case studies detailing best practice in schools.
At the same time, a coalition of four education organisations has published a free “best practice brief” on careers engagement.
The DfE guidance instructs schools to “engage fully” with their local employer and professional communities. It says that “real-world connections” with employers must be at the heart of any careers strategy.
It says this might include mentoring and coaching opportunities, “inspirational” speakers, workplace and higher education visits, networking events and careers fairs. It also recommends schemes such as Business in the Community, Career Academies and Inspiring the Future.
