The CBI has recently responded to the announcement of a new ‘Careers Company’ - a Government-sponsored but business-led body to oversee careers advice.

John Cridland, CBI Director-General, said:  

“I’m delighted our campaign for a greater focus on careers is being heard. Helping schools deliver high-quality careers advice and engage with business is a long-standing priority. The new careers company has the potential to make a big difference, and we look forward to working with Christine Hodgson and her team.

“Every young person should have access to good support and advice, whatever their background. Ultimately, this new body will be a success if it uses its power to look across the country to find and tackle local areas where young people are not getting the support they need.”
