Bucks Careers Hub has been recognised as the best in the country in a recent report. Learn how to get more involved with your local Careers Hub.
Buckinghamshire Careers Hub has been recognised as the highest achieving in the country by the Careers and Enterprise Company.
In July 2018, Buckinghamshire Skills Hub became one of only 20 ‘Careers Hubs’ around England, transforming careers education in schools and preparing young people for the world of work.
Bucks Skills Hub, and its Enterprise Adviser Network, supported over 150,000 employer-student encounters in Buckinghamshire in 2018/19, connecting schools and businesses and organising skills competitions in schools with employers including Bosch, East-West Rail and the National Film & Television School, and work place visits to the likes of the British Standards Institution and Emerson.
The State of the Nation 2019 report, which represents the most comprehensive assessment of careers education in England, has placed Bucks Skills Hub as the top performing for careers provision by achieving the highest average number of Gatsby benchmarks of 4.2 - compared to the national average of 3.0.
Andrew M. Smith, Chair of Buckinghamshire Local Enterprise Partnership, said: “We are delighted to see Buckinghamshire LEP as the top area in the country for careers provision. We are making excellent progress in Buckinghamshire, working together to improve careers awareness and skills development in all our secondary schools as part of the Careers and Enterprise Company’s national programme.”
This recognition from the Careers and Enterprise Company has been secured by the comprehensive and proactive programme of careers support provided by our partners at the Buckinghamshire Skills Hub and its Enterprise Adviser Network (part of the Careers and Enterprise Company’s national network).
