We work with every state-funded secondary school, special educational needs school, alternative provision & post 16 college across Somerset, as well as Independent  SEND schools with Section 41 status,  to deliver high quality careers support for students.   We also work with Primary schools, delivering our Dream Big Somerset Project helping to break down stereotypes to ensure primary aged young people have a positive start to their careers education journey.

We also work with employers, independent  training providers,  universities and career professionals to help to deliver the Gatsby Benchmarks and to ensure that all young people are able to identify their best next step.

The Careers Hub  plays a critical role in supporting local skills development plans,  understanding current and future job markets and feeding that intelligence into education.

We work closely with our colleagues in the Careers & Pathways Team, The Somerset Education Business Partnership and The Supported Employment Team to deliver on all things careers for young people across Somerset.  Our key focuses are supporting our schools with the refined Gatsby Benchmarks and preparing for the modernisation of work experience, with an increase to 50 hours work experience by the end of Year 11 becoming legislative for the 26/27 academic year.
