Call for more Enterprise Advisers to help inspire future careers

An appeal has been launched for local business people to volunteer their time to support the “Enterprise Adviser” initiative run by Devon, Plymouth & Torbay Careers Hub.

The Careers Hub currently has around 85 Enterprise Advisers who work closely with over 120 schools and colleges in the area to support their careers programmes.

It’s now looking to boost numbers with a recruitment drive, calling for more volunteers from local businesses to sign up to the scheme.

Enterprise Advisers are professionals from any business sector or background who volunteer their time to partner with a local secondary school or college to develop and implement a strategic careers plan. Using their skills, business experience and networks, they help them develop a strong careers programme that supports all students.

The Devon, Plymouth and Torbay Careers Hub works with mainstream and special secondary schools, FE colleges, Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND) and alternative provision, across Devon.
