Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what estimate she has made of the number of schools participating in employment and enterprise schemes.

We do not collect information on the number of schools participating in employment and enterprise schemes.

The government established the employer-led Careers & Enterprise Company in 2014 to link employers with schools and colleges. The Company has set up an Enterprise Adviser Network of senior volunteers from business to work with schools and colleges to increase opportunities for young people to learn more about the world of work. Over 1,700 Enterprise Advisers are working with over 1,700 schools and colleges to support their careers and enterprise provision.
