Employer engagement

The DFE, in collaboration with research partners Verian, have created a set of information and guidance materials to help careers leaders and teachers support KS5 students in making informed post 18 progression choices. The materials raise awareness of Higher Technical Qualifications (HTQs) as a high-quality, career focused alternative to degrees or apprenticeships. 

Designed for secondary school students, this programme aims to support them in developing their skills for the future and making the most of their potential in their chosen career.
