Education and Work: Addressing Inequality Through Collaboration - Online Series

Date: 15th October 2026

Location: Online

Economic uncertainty and changing workforce demands disproportionately affect underserved young people. Young people from lower socio-economic backgrounds, minoritised communities and with SEND face considerable risks, with school leavers significantly more likely to become NEET and higher education students less likely to secure graduate level employment.

This series of online events focuses on cross-sector collaborative approaches aiming to improve access to careers education, information, advice and guidance (CEIAG), strengthen progression pathways, and address inequitable access to meaningful jobs and careers.Through sharing effective practice in developing collaborative partnerships, the series will consider how to create more co-ordinated and inclusive support that helps young people from underserved groups realise their potential and successfully enter the labour market.

All events in the series are free to attend so please share these events with your network - we are keen to build a cross-sector community of practice in this field.

These events are open to non-members.
