About the Youth Advisory Group

The Youth Advisory Group will be led by the Youth Leadership Team at The Careers & Enterprise Company and will be facilitated and supported by the British Youth Council. This is the third year of The Careers & Enterprise Company Youth Advisory Group and as new members you will help continue the development of new ways of working and thinking about the direction of this group.

The Youth Advisory Group is led by the Youth Leadership Team at The Careers & Enterprise Company, with facilitation and support from the British Youth Council.

"Joining the Youth Advisory Group gave me the opportunity to reflect on the career education I have received and make the necessary change for young people like me. Alongside this I've been able to meet a broad and exciting cohort of people and gained a range of skills which I'm excited to be able to take forward with me."
— Elijah Denning, current YAG Chair.

Broadly the purpose of the group is to:

Govern: Challenge and support CEC to embed youth voices through everything we do.
Enrich: Add the vital youth perspective to help us be as impactful as possible in delivering against our strategic priorities.
Advocate: Work with us to mobilise young people's voices to continuously improve the system for everyone in education.
