Join the Hub

With your help we can join the dots between business and education and put young people’s futures first, by raising their aspirations and making them more informed around their future decisions.  Join the Hub as an Enterprise Adviser (EA) or get involved with employer engagement activities.

You don’t have to be an expert in Careers Advice and Guidance to be an EA.   EA’s use their business knowledge and experience to work closely with a secondary school or college Careers Leader and be a critical friend who provides strategic support.  Within the EA role, you will be supported and trained by the Enterprise Coordinator.
