Promoting early years careers opportunities amongst students in schools and colleges 

As you may be aware, schools in England are required to ensure that they offer at least six encounters with approved providers of apprenticeships and technical education for all their students (see Provider Access Legislation | The Careers and Enterprise Company)

Together with The Careers & Enterprise Company and their Careers Hub network, early years and childcare providers can make the most of promoting these sectors directly to schools and colleges across England. Careers Hubs work with 92% of schools and colleges nationally and offer dedicated support through facilitated partnerships with employers and training providers to enhance careers guidance and pathway options across various sectors.

If any early years providers are interested in connecting with local institutions, please contact the Careers Hub lead. This initiative offers a valuable opportunity to inspire and guide young people in considering a career in early years education.
