Solihull Careers Hub aims to bridge the gap between education and businesses to develop the future workforce in the borough that is ready and skilled for local businesses’ growth.
Through collaboration, schools can better understand all the different pathways into industries and empower students with the tools to achieve their goals.
To keep Careers Leaders posted of the latest Careers events and information in the borough, we have information pages for Mainstream and SEND.
The Careers and Enterprise Company (CEC) offers a wealth of information for Careers Leaders.
There are events for schools and colleges to understand various career pathways such as school encounters or seminars. Email us to find out more.
Solihull Careers Hub supports schools to implement the Gatsby Benchmarks where appropriate for the pupils and circumstances in Solihull.
In May 2025, the Government’s Work Experience Guarantee set out the ambition that every young person should access two weeks’ worth of high-quality, multiple workplace experiences.
Modern work experience gives every young person the chance to take part in high-quality workplace experiences totalling 10 days during their education. These opportunities help connect students with industry, build essential skills, boost confidence, and inspire future career choices — reducing the risk of young people becoming NEET. A framework called “equalex” has been developed to help schools to support students.
