Our skilled team of Enterprise Co-ordinators work with Careers Leaders in schools and colleges across Cumbria. They offer practical assistance and resources to help schools and colleges develop effective careers programmes.
They will link a school or college to an Enterprise Adviser, a local business volunteer, who can help to bridge the gap between education and the world of work and other support agencies or networks who will add value to a careers education programme.
