Do you want to be part of a mission-driven team focused on transforming young people’s lives? If so, we’d love to hear from you

**Role summary**:
The Careers & Enterprise Company (CEC) is looking for an** Industry and Work Experiences Lead** to play a leading role in shaping CEC’s approach to supporting more and better experiences of the workplace students receive, as part of our mission to help all young people find their best next step.

You will support and help lead one of CEC’s five Strategic Priorities for 2023/24**:Drive more high-quality experiences with employers for students and teachers.**

This is a topical and important area of public policy delivery across careers education as well as the wider skills and local growth agenda. The Lords’ Youth Unemployment committee, the Education Select Committee, Sutton Trust and Speakers for Schools are among several groups inside and outside of Parliament that have focused interest over the past year on how education and business can combine to offer young people meaningful experiences of the workplace.

The role sits with CEC’s Strategy & Communication (S&C) division’s Policy & Impact team and will draw on your experience of developing impactful work engagement programmes and your practitioner insight to influence evidence-led approaches and proven understanding of what works.

**Key responsibilities**:
You will lead coordination of CEC’s strategic approach to experiences of the workplace and ensure it is embedded at the heart of future strategy and policy.

Particular consideration will need to be given to the push and pull factors affecting the types of employers and encounters that young people experience. This should include the role that SME’s and start-ups can play in delivering these encounters and how as part of a balanced offer a representative focus on enterprise and an enterprising mindset can be achieved.

Within it you will be expected to build on, challenge and develop our current approach to promoting awareness of best practice and to establish our plan around five broad areas:
1. **Improving quality. **Using evidence** **led approaches - embedded within CEC’s developing Careers Impact Review System (CIRS) and Employer Standards - to understand and to develop models of good practice in promoting industry and work experiences. To do this effectively you will work with research and data colleagues to analyse and present emerging evidence of impact on young people, employers, and the education sector.

2. **Boosting access**. This will include engagement with employers through CEC’s Career Hubs and their resident Cornerstone Employers to encourage deeper engagement with purpose about experiences of the workplace as part of business outreach with schools and colleges.

3. **Inspiration** - to provide the right information to increase awareness of best practice around experiences of the workplace among employers, the education sector, and young people. Create and foster mutually beneficial partnerships that will elevate the profile of this agenda and allow us to build further insight. In addition, to help promote enterprise in CEC’s work including young people’s experiences of business and the skills needed to transition successfully into diverse jobs and sectors.

4. **Targeting need.** Leveraging all of CEC’s careers system infrastructure (data, digital and Careers Hubs including employer networks) to ensure students facing barriers and most in need can be supported and prioritised.

5. **Removing barriers. **Helping to develop practical resources, via Careers Hubs, to employers and schools around risk assessments and safeguarding.

**Essential criteria**:

- Have experience of designing and delivering high impact employer engagement programmes for young people and education institutions (including work experience) either from an employer or education perspective (or both).
- Be able to articulate the role of employer engagement in the wider skills policy space and identify best practice and the policy conditions needed for it to thrive
- Have a proven track record of delivering practical interventions that meet policy goals.

**TO APPLY: Please upload an anonymised version of your CV and cover letter in ONE continuous document detailing how you meet the criteria on the job description.**

**Closing date: Sunday 2nd April 2023 (Midnight)**
