This information is not held centrally, and schools, through head teachers and governing bodies are responsible for decisions about which organisations should be able to visit their school. However, we want to strengthen links between schools and employers to raise awareness of career opportunities, and have commissioned Careers Wales to establish a new, online resource called the ‘Education Business Exchange’, which will support a national network of business education partnerships with an employer engagement database.
