R
esearch shows 43% of businesses feel 16 year old school leavers are poorly prepared for the world of work, but with scant resources many
schools struggle to deliver the careers advice, information and guidance they would like. Career Footsteps is an initiative by independent education charity the Edge
Foundation. It matches volunteer professionals with schools, where they share their career experience and insight, introducing students to a breadth of career options and pathways including apprenticeships and professional education routes. One head teacher said: ‘It offers a wealth of fantastic industry experience
for schools to engage with, introducing a range of career opportunities and ideas to our students. We know that interactions here may well change the course of our students’ futures.’ The best careers guidance comes direct from professionals. Schools
receive all the help they need to host a successful Career Footsteps event for their students.
