In January 2023, the updated provider access legislation (PAL) will be enacted. It presents a timely and important opportunity to build on the growing interest in high-quality technical pathways.

We’re here to support you with key resources to understand why it’s important and how you can build on the great work already being done in your school, special school or college. These resources include support with planning a meaningful provider encounter and for upskilling colleagues to help them understand all pathways.

Finally, we’re delighted to share the recording from our first Careers Excellence Seminar which took place on the 4th November where over 200 educators and stakeholders joined us on the day. Together in partnership with The Gatsby Foundation, the panel explored the topic: ‘What does excellence in apprenticeships and technical education look like?’.

What Schools Say About Us

Being part of the Stoke on Trent and Staffordshire Careers Hub has been pivotal to the development of careers provision in our school. The Hub have shared good practice across their members resulting in a stronger focus on good quality provision. The annual event enabled the hub to share their vision of School Improvement Through The Lens of Careers and looking beyond the Benchmarks. It was a fantastic opportunity to share different models of school improvement and strategies to further develop careers provision to enhance the future opportunities of our young people.
