Empowering people to progress in life, work and learning.
We’re a charity. We provide personalised careers support and professional training. We help people to build confidence, get a job, move into training or education, or plan their next steps.
We work nationally, delivering tailored services designed around the people and places we support.
We specialise in four key areas:
Careers Support for Young People
Independent advice and guidance to 16–18-year-olds and people up to age 25 with an Education, Health Care Plan. Find your local team.
School & College Careers Services
Working in partnership with schools and colleges to deliver inspiring and bespoke careers services, aligned with Gatsby Benchmarks.
Justice Services
Supporting ex-offenders’ transition back into society through preparation for employment, education and training. We work in custody, probation and the community.
Training and Development
Accredited courses for those in advisory and careers guidance roles, and CPD for workplaces and individuals.
Person-led support for brighter futures
The right careers support, at the right time, is life changing.
We have more than two decades of experience in helping people to find their path and overcome barriers to employment, education or training.
The more people we can help to succeed on their own terms, the better future we create for everyone.
Research that makes a difference
We aim to be a voice for the people we work with, using evidence to influence and shape policy. We have a rolling programme of research, and we make evidence-based recommendations to national and local governments and the careers sector.
Participant Voice lies at the heart of everything we do. Our participants’ feedback helps us design services that work.
