Education leaders

There have been significant changes to careers education in recent years, with new statutory guidance from the Department for Education, updates to the Ofsted inspection handbook and new models and approaches to careers education being rolled out across England.

The Kent and Medway Careers Hub can support education leaders and governors in a number of ways. We can:

  • make your careers education programme as efficient as possible
  • help your Careers Leader to increase their impact
  • match your institution with a senior business volunteer to shape your careers programme
  • provide funding for your Careers Leader
  • guide your school to maximise the value of careers education including the Careers Link Governor role
  • enable the professional development of Governors and staff through online learning opportunities.

If you would like to arrange a meeting to discuss any of the above, please contact your linked careers consultant. Details can be found on our Meet the team page or through your in-school Careers Leader.
