Berkshire Careers Hub

Careers Hubs bring together schools, colleges, employers, and apprenticeship providers in local areas across England. The goal is to make it easier for schools and colleges to improve how they prepare young people for their next steps.

Careers Hubs drive progress against the Gatsby Benchmarks by enabling schools and colleges and their Careers Leaders to access training and support, and to collaborate in a focussed way, bringing together best practice and local labour market insight.

Hubs offer schools and colleges dedicated support from the local hub team and facilitate partnerships with key employers committed to improving careers across an area.

The Careers Hub in Berkshire will:

• Put labour market intelligence and employer engagement at the heart of careers information.
• In partnership with our local businesses and employers, inspire young people to become the talented future workforce local employers need.
• Enhance and develop careers education in Berkshire to make it meaningful and inspirational for all our young people.
