Welcome

Welcome to The Careers & Enterprise Academy. This is the home of careers leadership for Careers Leaders and all those who work with them to plan and deliver strategic, progressive careers programmes.

Tailored content for those in other roles including Education Leaders, Governors, SENCOs and the wider education workforce is also available to help everyone effectively play their part in helping young people find their best next step.
