The Marches Skills Provider Network (Post 16 Colleges and Training Providers in Herefordshire, Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin) are undertaking a Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP) research project into the feasibility of a Careers and Apprenticeship hub that provides support to schools/parents/ carers and employers supporting young people into employment.

The concept of a Careers and Apprenticeship Hub (CAH) is a central point (either real or virtual) where interested parties in Herefordshire could access a range of services such as:

Advice on Careers and career pathways
Information about local providers
Information about local employers
Information about Apprenticeships
Links to local and national information websites
Information for pupils/ students/ employers to apply/ interview and recruit an apprentice

In this element of the research we are looking at how a careers and apprenticeship hub would look and work to support employers across Herefordshire and the Marches.
