New National Careers Service launched

Combining face to face to face local advice with a new interactive website, the new National Careers Service will:

  • Provide information and advice for approximately 370,000 young people through the use of the helpline and website.
  • Offer face to face advice to 700,000 adults each year in a range of locations in local communities.
  • Provide detailed sector by sector labour market information so people can discover which industries are growing in their area.
  • Provide tools such as a CV builder and a Skills Health Check on the website to help people identify their skills strengths and gaps.
  • Allow people to open a Lifelong Learning Account, which gives them clear information and advice on skills, careers and financial support in a single, personalised online space.

John Hayes said:

“The National Careers Service, universally available to people at all stages of their careers, has the very best interactive tools on its website and the highest-quality advisers, committed to the noble cause of helping others fulfil their aspirations.

“Making available the right advice at the right time and in the right places is to strike a blow for social mobility, social cohesion and social justice - a society that encourages people from wherever they start to journey to the destination of their dreams.”
