Tees Valley Careers (July 2020)

TeesValleyCareers.com has been entirely redeveloped in response to the coronavirus pandemic to create a new look and feel that is more accessible for students and their parents, offering the best advice possible to help them find a new job or training course.

The £3million UK-first initiative, spearheaded and launched by Tees Valley Mayor Ben Houchen has taken another step to provide youngsters with information and opportunities helping them on the path to a successful career.

The scheme targets every school and college in the Tees Valley, providing advice and support to about 100,000 young people. It aims to give children aged 11-18 seven direct and meaningful employer engagements, with 885 firms in the region signed up to the scheme. It comes off the back of The Mayor’s £1million Emergency Apprenticeship Scheme to fund the salaries of up to 100 apprentices as well as a recent announcement of more than £1million to education providers to support careers education across the region.
