Purpose:

In line with the Opportunity Area Delivery Plan’s Priority Three Commitment to ensure that ‘No Career is out of Bounds’, we have put in place a Careers Hub to bring Careers Leaders in
schools together with employers and universities to develop best practice careers education information advice and guidance. Through the work of this group, the need for meaningful experiences of the world of work has come out clearly as a key need in the borough. To do this Doncaster needs a hub of willing employers on board from all sectors in order to maximise the choice and experience to school children in our borough to enable them to make the right
choices about their ambitions about work.
