Waveney MP Peter Aldous today welcomed the launch of a new National Career Service.

The new service will:

• Provide information and advice for approximately 370,000 young people through the use of the helpline and website.


• Offer face to face advice to 700,000 adults each year in a range of locations in local communities.


• Provide detailed sector by sector labour market information so people can discover which industries are growing in their area.


• Provide tools such as a CV builder and a Skills Health Check on the website to help people identify their skills strengths and gaps.


• Allow people to open a Lifelong Learning Account, which gives them clear information and advice on skills, careers and financial support in a single, personalised online space.

Mr Aldous said:

“I welcome the new National Careers Service which will be available to people at all stages of their careers and encourage Waveney residents to take advantage of this tool.”
