The National Career Service
The National Careers Service provides high quality, free and impartial information advice and guidance to help citizens make decisions on learning, training and work. It is available to all adults in England over the age of 13.
Our universal service is primarily for citizens who need somewhere to go that can provide comprehensive careers information advice or guidance for themselves.
Additional users of our service are people who use it to support others. This includes professional careers advisers and intermediaries such as employers, teachers and parents.
Our service is designed to enable users to self serve as much as possible, however some of our users need more intensive support.
For self service, our intuitive digital tools and smart use of data enable them to get a personalised service. Professional careers advisers will help provide users with additional advice and guidance, specific to their personal circumstances.
If you want any more information about National Careers Service, please get in touch.
