Career Matters (CM) is a social enterprise, providing career services and developing the future workforce through face-to-face and digital solutions. Enabling social mobility is the foundation for every partnership solution that Career Matters supports across education, health, social care and industry sectors.
As a social enterprise, we have a particular focus on lived experience communities, including children who are in local authority care, young people and adults who have left care and
individuals who have been involved in the criminal justice system. Both of these communities face the cliff edge of care and we seek to create a support system to connect them into futures with hope and opportunity.
Career Matters exists to support those most removed from traditional pathways into education, employment and training to find inspirational and fulfilling career pathways.
