<p>Helping all young people to get the careers education and guidance they need to
climb the ladder of opportunity is crucial to delivering real social justice. We are
investing £90m over this Parliament to ensure that every young person has equal access
to the life-changing advice and inspiration that they need to fulfil their potential
and succeed in life. This includes further funding for The Careers & Enterprise
Company to continue the excellent work it has started. The Company is targeting careers
‘cold spots’ and is making good progress to support young people in Opportunity Areas.</p><p>The
Company has been working with employer representative bodies and local partners to
align efforts to support the specific commitments that businesses could make to schools
and colleges in these areas. The Company has also launched the second round of its
Careers and Enterprise Fund, £1 million of which will specifically support young people
in the six Opportunity Areas announced last year. This will ensure that young people
get the right experiences with employers, to better prepare them for the world of
work.</p><p> </p>
