<p>Improving social mobility requires support from all parts of society: government,
employers and civic organisations. The Secretary of State recently spoke at the launch
of the Social Mobility Employers Index. The Index highlights how employers, including
government, are taking steps to ensure talented people from all works of life can
access good jobs. I strongly encourage employers to sign up to the Index next year.</p><p>
</p><p>We are also taking further specific action. In the Industrial Strategy we set
out that we are reviewing the current careers offer for people of all ages. We will
build on the best international evidence to publish a comprehensive careers strategy
later this year.</p><p>The Careers & Enterprise Company will also ensure every
secondary school in an Opportunity Area has an Enterprise Adviser, and will provide,
for every young person, four encounters with the world of work. This support will
focus the whole education community in areas of the country where social mobility
is lowest.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p><strong><br> </strong></p><p> </p>
