Greater Manchester Careers Community of Practice


“We want Greater Manchester to be a place where everyone can live a good life, growing up, getting on and growing old in a greener, fairer more prosperous city region.” Greater Manchester Strategy (external website)  

Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) is working to support and help prepare young people to actively participate and thrive in the economy. We are doing this by building on their ambitions, qualities, and skills in order for them to have fair access to the opportunities available across the sub-region.  

More than ever, it is vital the Greater Manchester's young people are connected to and have experiences of the world of work. 

Young people who have four or more encounters with employers are 86% less likely to be unemployed, or not in education/training when they leave school/college.
