The GFirst LEP Careers Hub works strategically with schools and colleges to link business with education, providing first-class careers education and opportunities for young people.

We currently support 54 local schools and colleges, who work together with employers, universities, training providers and careers professionals to improve careers education for young people across the county.

These establishments are supported by our Enterprise Coordinators, who sit at the heart of the Hub to help schools and colleges engage with business and work. 

We are also proud to work with volunteer Enterprise Advisers – local business professionals who are successfully matched to a school or college to raise the aspirations of young people throughout Gloucestershire, implement the Gatsby Benchmarks, and engage with Senior Leadership Teams within educational facilities. They use their strategic skills to put opportunities with local employers at the heart of a young person’s education.
