About the Youth Advisory Group

Working closely in partnership with the Careers and Enterprise Company since 2020, the British Youth Council have supported in establishing, developing and integrating youth voice across their work.

The Careers and Enterprise Company's Youth Advisory Group are a group of passionate youth voice ambassadors from across England, who share a mission to improve education and career outcomes for young people, especially those with barriers to accessing mainstream education or traditional career pathways.

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.  

"I want you to know that being a Youth Advisory Group member has had such a positive impact on me and the continued support has opened my eyes to what a leader can be." Youth Advisory Group member.

Broadly the purpose of the group is to:

  • Shape and influence the role of youth voice in the work of The Careers & Enterprise Company ensuring that youth voice and lived-experiences are embedded across the organisation. 

  • Support The Careers & Enterprise Company in sense checking the organisation's plans and the reasoning behind them.

  • Develop an increased awareness of the careers programmes and support that young people are entitled to. 

  • Support The Careers & Enterprise Company to effectively survey young people nationally about their experience of careers education.

  • Represent the Careers & Enterprise Company at important engagements, such as roundtable discussions, conferences, events and across their comms channels.

  • And more.
