<p>To help young people understand what they can pursue and achieve in the future,
it is important that they have information on a range of jobs and careers, as well
as having the opportunity to encounter a wide variety of employers in different sectors
to inspire them. We are improving careers advice in schools so that young people understand
the full range of careers available and how they can progress into them through both
technical and academic routes.</p><p> </p><p>The Careers & Enterprise Company
is making sure that every young person has access to encounters with employers from
a range of sectors, which may include the fishing and video games industries. Information
on a variety of careers, including these industries, can also be found on the National
Careers Service website, which is available at: <a href="https://nationalcareersservice.direct.gov.uk/"
target="_blank">https://nationalcareersservice.direct.gov.uk//</a>.</p><p>Regarding
the video games industry specifically, we have introduced Computing as a statutory
national curriculum subject at all four key stages and we have introduced a new Computer
Science GCSE and A level. These subjects will better equip pupils with the skills
and knowledge they need to pursue high-tech jobs in the future, including the development
of video games, for example through the level 4 software developer apprenticeship
or the level 3 digital support technician apprenticeship.</p>
