Our Stakeholders
CET believes a coordinated approach involving a range of stakeholders is required to help young people choose the right career path, to make a successful transition from education into work, and to thrive in their careers.
Exposure and engagement with the world of work, even in the early years of a young person’s development, will directly impact their prospects. Educators, employers and policy-makers must work together to nurture the commercial instincts of all, in whatever industry or sector they choose – to prosper into the future.
