The Greater Lincolnshire Careers Hub connects schools and colleges with local employers to improve careers education and meet the Gatsby Benchmarks. It supports over 100 institutions, including SEND and FE, and works closely with councils and sector bodies.

As an Enterprise Coordinator, I build partnerships between education and industry—organising employer-led activities like mock interviews, workplace visits, and talks. I lead campaigns such as the Apprenticeship Ambassador Network, create digital resources, and support schools in embedding careers into their strategic plans. My focus is on making employer engagement meaningful and accessible for all young people across the region.
