What is a Careers Hub?
The Careers Hubs are funded by the Mayor of London, The Careers & Enterprise Company and the European Social Fund.
A Careers Hub is a group of secondary schools, FE colleges, Alternative Provision and Special Schools in a dedicated area that work together to deliver high quality careers education for all students. Collaborating with employers, the public, education and voluntary sectors, they help deliver the Gatsby Benchmarks and improve careers outcomes for young people. You can find out more about the success of Careers Hubs in other areas of England by visiting The Careers & Enterprise Company's website.
