<p>We make advice available to help young people and adults make informed decisions
about their options including careers in the creative industries.</p><p> </p><p>The
National Careers Service provides professional careers advice to young people and
adults via a dedicated helpline, website and in the local community. The website contains
a number of job profiles. These includes information on roles, skills and entry requirements
for occupations and careers in the creative industries. All National Careers Service
provider advisers are qualified professionals, most of whom are qualified to level
6 in delivering careers advice and have access to continuous professional development.</p><p>
</p><p>Schools have a statutory duty to provide access to information on the full
range of options to their pupils aged 12 -18 years. This must include information
on the full range of education and training options, including apprenticeships in
many industries. Through their links with the Careers and Enterprise Company and programmes
such as “Inspiring the Future”, young people have access to employers from a variety
of industries. This contact helps to broaden their horizons and consider different
opportunities.</p><p>We want to go further to ensure that everyone can find a fulfilling
education or training route that is right for them, whether this is an academic route,
technical route or apprenticeship. The Secretary of State confirmed in a speech to
the Sutton Trust on 12 July that we will publish a careers strategy in the Autumn.
This will improve the extent and quality of support for people of all ages.</p><p>
</p><p>We are implementing apprenticeship reforms to continue to improve the quality
of apprenticeships for all, providing the skills that employers need to reach our
commitment of 3 million starts in England by 2020. We want better apprenticeships
in more sectors, covering more roles, including in the creative industries.</p>
