The Careers & Enterprise Company believes that young people should be given the best support available to develop their careers and to make choices about education and employment.
At the heart of our ability to do this is our commitment to listening to and developing the evidence base. It is only by being clear about what works in careers and enterprise that we are able to ensure that what we do will make a difference to young people.
This paper sets out the framework that we are using to develop the evidence base. We hope that it will be useful to schools and careers and enterprise providers in shaping what they provide for young people and how they think about using evidence.
