Providing Recommendations for Careers Education in Secondary School and College with the Department for Education

In November 2022, the YPDG examined access to careers education in schools, finding that 27% of young people aged 16-25 reported that lack of information was one of the main barriers to pursuing their career of choice and that only 50% of young people aged 16-25 had met with a career advisor in the past 12 months.*

UK Youth Employment joined us for the training session and presented some of the findings from the UK Youth Voice Census 2022. At the end of the month, the YPDG hosted a Roundtable Discussion with Susan Acland-Hood, Permanent Secretary at the Department for Education and Deborah McCann, Head of Careers Education for Young People.
