Our Board of Trustees plays a crucial role in helping us to support greater numbers of young people and adults through high quality and professional career, employment and training services.
Our Senior Leadership Team brings a wealth of skills, knowledge, and experience in careers support for young people, adults, the education sector, the charity sector, the criminal justice sector and the training of professionals in the advice and guidance sector.
Our panel of Youth Ambassadors helps ensure that young people are at the heart of what we do and that we are providing the careers support that young people need in today's competitive world.
