The department wants to work closely with all key stakeholders, including further education colleges when taking forward proposals announced in the recently published careers strategy.

Since publishing the careers strategy, we have also published guidance for colleges so that their students receive high quality careers information, advice and guidance. The guidance is published at: https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/679639/Careers-Guidance.pdf.

In developing this guidance, we worked with the Association of Colleges, and several other colleges and key stakeholders to make sure that the guidance was fit for purpose and in-line with commitments in the careers strategy. We want all young people to receive a programme of advice and guidance that is stable, structured and delivered by individuals with the right skills and experience.

The government has asked The Careers & Enterprise Company to play a central role in the implementation of the careers strategy. The Company intends to publish a full implementation plan in March. This will be completed through consultation with a wide range of stakeholders, including Local Enterprise Partnerships and partners from the education and business sectors.
