Join us for an inspiring conversation in London with John Yarham, CEO of The Careers & Enterprise Company, as we explore the future of career education for young people in the UK. 

John shares insights on how the education system is adapting to better support students in finding the right career path. We discuss the challenges young people face, the growing importance of creativity and adaptability, and how work experience and apprenticeships are evolving to meet the needs of a changing world. 

John explains why “essential skills” versus “soft skills” – such as problem-solving, literacy, numeracy and resilience – are increasingly vital for success. These foundational abilities enable young people to thrive in the workplace and adapt to shifting demands.  

We examine the role of collaboration among schools, employers and parents in preparing the next generation for the world of work. From the influence of role models to emerging careers in electrification and sustainability, this episode highlights both the opportunities and the support needed to help all young people succeed. 

Whether you're a student, parent, teacher or employer, you'll gain practical ideas and inspiration to help young people reach their potential in a fast-moving job market.
