Education
Building career ready young people. Creating a brighter future for industry.
About us
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. Our mission: Building career ready young people. Creating a brighter future for industry. Employers are vital to help bridge the gap between education and employment and there are lots of ways you can support young people and school leaders, provide personal development for your staff and identify new talent. Your skills and knowledge can illuminate your sector showing young people the variety of options open to them in the future. With over 150 schools and colleges within the South Midlands Careers Hub network we work with School Leaders, Governors and Careers Leaders to build modern, 21st century careers education programmes that support students to take their best next step out of education and into the world of work, whether they are from a mainstream secondary, SEND school, Alternative Provision or post 16 college.

Fantastic to see a spotlight shone on young people who have followed this route. #TLevelsWeek
As part of #TLevelsWeek we are celebrating the progression of students who have gone on to secure employment on the back of the experience and skills they gained as part of their T Level course. Today we are shining the spotlight on Daisy. For Daisy, the Childcare and Education T Level gave her the tools she needed to be able to hit the ground running in her first job. Now working at Caring Kindergarten in Duston, the 18-year-old was able to call on the experience she gained during placements at Hopping Hill Primary School and Lyncrest Day Nursery to take her new role in her stride. She said: “My time at Northampton College was very positive and I thoroughly enjoyed the T level course. It was perfect for me as it allowed me to have hands-on working experience in a placement twice a week whilst still coming into college to learn new knowledge and skills that I could then apply practically. “I enjoyed able to stay at one placement for a longer period of time compared to having several placements, which allowed me to be able to build better bonds with colleagues and attachments with the children and gave me a great sense of what it felt like to work as part of a team in an early years setting. “This course helped prepare me for a real job in early years and allowed me to achieve my goals of working with children aged 0-5. I am currently working in a private nursery and, although tiring at times, it is such a rewarding job and I wouldn’t want to do anything else. I am so grateful for all the help from the college which allowed me to achieve an overall distinction.” Find out more about the T Levels we offer, how you can apply and how employers can get involved at the link below. https://lnkd.in/eXCPfkeP

We’re at the Good Career Guidance: The Next Ten Years launch event today, where the Gatsby Foundation is presenting a first look at the updates to its Gatsby Benchmarks framework for schools, college and ITPs. Careers guidance has come a long way since the benchmarks were introduced 10 years ago. Exciting to get together with so many people who have helped shape the changes to the benchmark framework to celebrate the progress we’ve already made and talk about what we can achieve in the decade to come. #gatsbybenchmarks #careeradvice #careerguidance #careers
