<p>We want young people to have opportunities to engage with employers and the world
of work throughout their education. This should be an age appropriate approach which
begins with work discovery activities in primary school.</p><p>We recognise that older
children will benefit from an increasing range of employer interventions including
inspiring talks, mentoring and work experience. That is why the employer-led Careers
& Enterprise Company is increasing the level of employer input into schools and
colleges. For example, by rolling out its Enterprise Adviser Network, which works
closely with Local Enterprise Partnerships to connect employees from firms of all
sizes to schools through a network of volunteer enterprise advisers drawn from business.</p><p>We
want more young people to have the opportunity to take part in high quality work experience
that helps to prepare them for the workplace and develop the employability skills
that employers require. Work experience and work placements should be an integral
part of most students’ 16-19 study programmes.</p>
