This NFER and London Councils report identifies emerging promising practice in the delivery of careers education and guidance (CEG) through ‘London Ambitions’ careers strategy. The report used 22 semi-structured interviews with staff and five focus groups with young people in case-study visits to four schools and one FE college (identified by London Councils) in London between February – May 2017. In interviewing school staff the authors identified a number of common themes in their responses.
- The schools and college prepare young people well for the world of work through responsive careers provision for all their students.
- Senior leaders value CEG and support its development and profile within the institutional ethos.
- Engaging with employers and the world of work is seen as a priority.
