Abstract
The Government’s Industrial Strategy (2012) stresses the importance of stimulating business growth and the need to foster a culture of enterprise and entrepreneurship. A strong education and training system is crucial for developing this culture, as well as fundamental to opening up routes for all individuals to succeed in the labour market, thereby playing a full part in civil society. Employers need to be able to recruit the right talent for their businesses, so that they can harness employee potential efficiently. Robust and efficient links between employers and education are essential to deliver on all of these agendas. A recent Government Action Plan (BIS & DfE, 2013) recommends that employers should work with the National Careers Service to facilitate such links. The Service should foster greater exposure of young people to the world of work and facilitate closer involvement between schools and employers, so that young people can be inspired, mentored and coached by employers. The need for greater levels of employer engagement with education, facilitated by the National Careers Service and linked to the Government’s ‘Inspiration’ agenda (HM Government, 2013) was the focus of this research study.
