Review and develop a strategic funding model for careers advice and providers
Recommendation
DWP should review the funding and funding model for careers advice. It should develop a more strategic model that funds additional sessions for those for whom it will deliver the greatest impact and value for money, and in areas with greatest need. As it develops its new jobs and careers service, DWP should also review its incentives model for careers advice providers, ensuring it is aligned with the Government’s wider employment goals. (Recommendation, Paragraph 27) 18 Delivering a new jobs and careers service
