The Careers and Enterprise Company and The Dorset LEP (DLEP) Projects

The Careers and Enterprise Company (CEC) is a national network that connects schools and colleges with employers and businesses to develop Careers Education. The role of the CEC is to support the sector to work together to provide young people with effective and high-quality encounters with the world of work.

How the CEC network supports schools, colleges and employers

The national network is made up of Enterprise Co-ordinators (ECs) who we co-fund with DLEP. ECs are trained professionals who work with clusters of 20+ schools and colleges to build Careers Strategies and broker connections to local and national employers.  

ECs also support a group of senior business volunteers, known as Enterprise Advisers (EAs) who we match with one of the school or colleges in our BCP network.

​EAs use their business knowledge to support headteachers and Careers Teams to develop and monitor an effective strategy to create opportunities for business engagement in BCP for pupils and students.
