    Item 9c STOKE-ON-TRENT AND STAFFORDSHIRE LOCAL ENTERPRISE PARTNERSHIP EXECUTIVE BOARD MEETING 14th February 2019 Careers Guidance and Employability Purpose and Introduction SSLEP update report on projects within the careers guidance priority of the SSLEP Skills Strategy. Progress Below is a summary of progress on the key initiatives. A. Careers and Enterprise Company (CEC) The Careers & Enterprise Company was asked by government to play a critical role in supporting the implementation of The Careers Strategy in a number of areas: 1. Rolling out their existing employer engagement work everywhere. This includes offering Enterprise Advisers (EAs) to all schools by 2020, supporting schools and colleges to increase the number of encounters they offer young people in their time in secondary school and college, and, inspired by the work in the Opportunity Areas, increase the number of Cornerstone Employers to 150 engaging them in new areas of the country. 2. Scaling up to support the broader Gatsby Benchmarks (BM) and Careers Leaders. Scale up via 20 new Careers Hubs piloted in the North East and Opportunity Areas also working across all eight benchmarks. 3. Testing and sharing best practice in STEM, SEND and primary. Key goals set out by The Careers Strategy and Statutory Guidance were: 1. All schools should be meeting the Gatsby benchmarks by the end of 2020, measured by completion of the online, self-assessed Compass Tool. 2. All schools and colleges to have access to an Enterprise Adviser (senior business volunteer) by the end of 2020. 3. Schools should offer every young person at least one employer encounter a year by the end of 2020.
