Question to the Department for Education:
To ask Her Majesty’s Government how many schools in England engage with Enterprise Advisers.
We are investing £90m over this Parliament to ensure that every young person has equal access to the life-changing advice and inspiration that they need to fulfil their potential and succeed in life. This includes funding for The Careers & Enterprise Company.
The Company is continuing to make excellent progress towards transforming the provision of careers, enterprise and employer engagement experiences for young people. Over 1,300 secondary schools and colleges across the country have signed up to the Company’s Enterprise Adviser Network. Of those that have signed up, 1,200 are secondary schools, with 957 matched with an Enterprise Adviser volunteer.
