Careers advice for children not in education, employment or training

Support service providing impartial careers information, advice and guidance to young people.

Our Careers Advice and Guidance Service is a free support service providing impartial careers information, advice and guidance to young people in years 12 and 13 who are Not in Education, Employment or Training (NEET).   

We have highly qualified Careers Advisers experienced in working with young people to help them make informed decisions, ensure they are aware of all options and potential career paths as well as providing information and advice on current employment, training and education opportunities.

Our primary aims is to ensure that young people have a better understanding of their options, in order to keep them engaged and increase the likelihood of moving on successfully – standards which Ofsted inspect.
