NEW: Industry Advisory Groups set to launch in 2025. The Central London Careers Hub is launching its first Industry Advisory Groups for the #retail and #construction sectors in 2025. The purpose will be to advise our work through deeper engagement with the sectors, as we seek to improve the support for secondary school staff in effectively promoting the industry to their students. By leveraging the expertise of the groups, paired with our unique data-led insights of current activity, student's career intentions and their career readiness, we intend to create lasting impact on the sectors engagement with its future workforce. We are inviting organisations to contribute to this group and shape the conversation around current and future engagement in Central London's schools and colleges. Themes for the discussions will range from current recruitment challenges, long-term skills forecasts, current good practice in education outreach, inclusion and disadvantage, further opportunities to collaborate and general advice for our service. By being a member of this group, you will be contributing to industry social value creation, playing a key role in ensuring that your sector is accessible to all. This group's work also directly supports the achievement of Employer Standards 6-9, recognising the role your organisation is playing in leading this conversation for the sector. Delivered in Central London by Reed in Partnership, insights and summaries of the Industry Advisory Group will be produced and shared with the national body for careers education in England (The Careers & Enterprise Company), the Greater London Authority and the national Careers Hub network - ensuring insight has a broader reach than the Central London region.

Read the new report by the Social Market Foundation, sponsored by Reed in Partnership, detailing recommendations to support small businesses to recruit apprenticeships in skilled trade roles. Within the context of wider reform to the apprenticeship levy, skills policy and the governmental focus on sustainability, this report provides timely and valuable insight on the role of SMEs in breaking down barriers for school leavers, as well as outlining the role Careers Hubs could play in managing SMEs relationships with prospective apprentices. The Central London Careers Hub is funded by The Careers & Enterprise Company in partnership with Greater London Authority to bridge the gap between industry and education in our capital city. Delivered in Central London by Reed in Partnership, we look forward to continuing this vital work in 2025.
