Abstract

Despite the statutory requirement for secondary schools in England to secure independent careers advice for all pupils, our survey of over 13,000 Year 11 students suggests that fewer than two-thirds of students aged 15-16 report having received careers education and only half of all students have had work experience. Moreover, our data shows that where there is careers education provision, this is patterned by social inequalities, leaving those most in need of it without adequate, or any, independent careers support. White males are most likely to receive careers education - whereas girls, students from minority ethnic or working-class backgrounds, lower-attaining students and those who are unsure of their aspirations are all significantly less likely to report receiving careers education.
