Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many secondary schools in Kingston upon Hull West and Hessle constituency have been allocated a careers and enterprise company adviser.

The department is working closely with the Careers and Enterprise Company (CEC) and I met with representatives of the Company recently.

The CEC set up its Enterprise Adviser Network in 2015 to work with schools and colleges to increase opportunities for young people to learn more about the world of work. Over 1,800 Enterprise Advisers are now working with schools and colleges to support their careers and enterprise provision.

In Kingston upon Hull West and Hessle there are five education establishments that have signed up to the network. Four establishments have been matched with an Enterprise Adviser and the other one is in the process of being matched.
