Information for School Governors
School governors play a vital role in shaping the strategic direction of careers education. By championing high-quality provision, governors help ensure that every young person is supported to take their best next step — whether into further education, training, or employment.
How we support school governors:
- Guidance and information We provide clear, up-to-date information to help you understand how careers education can add value across your school. This includes resources tailored to the Careers Link Governor role, enabling you to support your school’s careers strategy effectively.
- Empowering careers leaders Governors are key in supporting Careers Leaders to maximise their impact. We offer insights and tools to help you understand their role and how you can contribute to their success.
- Professional development Access a range of online learning opportunities designed to support both governors and school staff. These resources help build confidence and understanding around careers education and leadership.
- Dedicated support Each school is supported by a Careers Consultant, who can offer tailored advice, answer questions, and help you navigate the careers education landscape.
Training and Resources
A specific training module aims to equip Governors with the knowledge necessary to provide effective support and challenge, supporting schools to build a high-quality careers education programme. Various resources are also available to further assist with practical and strategic advice (scroll to the bottom of the page on the link).
