Driving the quality of careers provision through collaboration with education and employers in the West.

What is the Careers Hub?

The Careers Hub operates within Mayoral Combined Authority, with support from The Careers and Enterprise Company, the national body overseeing careers education in England. We support schools and colleges across Bristol, B&NES, South Gloucestershire and North Somerset local authority areas.

Our Hub bridges the gap between education and employment, helping schools and colleges to equip young people with the skills and experiences necessary to thrive in today’s workforce, while also seeking to address disadvantage in its many forms. By collaborating with careers professionals, educational institutions, and employers, the Careers Hub provides guidance, professional development, and a range of programmes and projects.

The Careers Hub is constantly driving careers forward, putting us in touch with people who can help us and ensuring we have a consistent approach. I know without their guidance I would have felt rather lost!

The Careers Hub is consistent, reliable and knowledgeable - everything we could need!
