Senior Leaders/Governors
The South Midlands Careers Hub is the strategic arm of the Department for Education (DfE) responsible for supporting schools and colleges to improve the careers provision in schools and colleges for all young people to find their ‘best next step’.
Our role is to support the education system to connect to the world of work and build an intelligence led careers provision that views school improvement through the lens of careers and builds a talent pipeline for industry.
This coordinated approach between education and industry leads to improved transition and retention rates post-16, a reduction in NEET rates and ultimately in unemployment rates. It is the best way to close local, regional and national skills gaps, and is a key for economic development both short and long term.
As a Careers Hub we track progress and performance against the Gatsby Benchmarks, student feedback via FSQ enabling us to identify areas of need and best practice. Click here to view the latest school / college performance data.
