National Careers Week 2017 #NCW2017
National Careers Week 2017 is taking place this week between 6-11 March, promoting the importance of good careers education in schools and colleges.
Every year this is a celebration of careers and free resources in education across the UK and encourages education providers to bring together students, local employers and advisers through careers events and activities.
SCHOOLS NorthEast will hold a Spring Term Ofsted briefing with a themed discussion around careers education. This will be led by Adrian Lyons HMI, Ofsted’s National Lead for economics, business and enterprise, who spearheaded the ‘Getting Ready for Work’ report, published by Ofsted in November 2016.
We will hold two events in two different locations in the region, to maximise the opportunity for school leaders to attend. These will take place on Wednesday 5 April:
South of the region
Time: 10:00am – 12:00pm
Venue: Inspire2 Learn, Normanby Road, South Bank, Middlesbrough, TS6 9AE
North of the region
Time: 2:00pm – 4:00pm
Venue: The Durham Centre, Belmont Industrial Estate, Durham, DH1 1TN

SCHOOLS NorthEast also held its annual careers conference last month. FutureReady 2017 helped schools from across the region to access best practice in careers guidance, vital in making sure their pupils are equipped with the knowledge and experiences, along with the key attributes and attitudes, they need to succeed in the 21st century.
