What the Government think the problem is
You've got to get out there
and find people, win them
over, get them to raise
aspirations, get them to thinkthey can get all the way to the
top. "

So what has happened?
A postcode lottery. Some good, some bad, some indifferent
provision.
A lot of reports criticising government
policy.
But Good practice is persuasive
You cant keep a good idea down!
Nature abhors a vacuum.
There is still policy and debate in
this area.

Cutting out the middle man
For young people reflecting on whichcareer path to follow no information is
as valuable, no inspiration so
powerful as the testimony of those at
the front line of business. That is why
the new careers guidance produced
by my colleague Matt Hancock is allabout cutting out the middle man and
getting inspirational speakers in front
of students to spark their ambitions.
Students cant aspire to lives theyve
never known. So we need businesspeople to visit schools, engage and
inspire.

Employers are not the whole picture
If employer contributions are to be effective,they require logistical support, curriculum
space, and receptive schools and young
people. They also need to be an integral partof properly planned, delivered and reviewed
careers education and guidance programmes
run by schools.
