Schools: Careers Advice

Baroness McIntosh of Hudnall Excerpts

Wednesday 19th June 2019 Lords Chamber

[Viscount Younger of Leckie]

Effective personal guidance can make a significant contribution to social mobility and the economic health of the nation, so the point the noble Lord has made is very important. The eighth of the Gatsby benchmarks requires all young people to have a careers interview by the age of 16 and the opportunity for a further interview by the age of 18. We are investing £2.5 million to support the development of new, cost-effective models to deliver personal guidance.
