About us

Careers South West manages a service that helps young people make choices about employment, education and training.

We provide independent impartial information, advice and guidance for all 13-19 year olds.

Our purpose is to engage all our customers in learning and work. All young people have access to an adviser whether that is through schools or colleges, area centres or in youth and community groups.

We provide information, advice and guidance about careers, education courses, training and jobs, and other issues facing young people e.g. health, benefits, housing, relationships.

We bring together other agencies and voluntary groups to plan coherent access to integrated services for young people.

This 13-19 service is managed and delivered by Careers South West Ltd.
