Improve impact & collaborate for success

Supporting the brilliant work you’re already doing.

equalex

Many businesses already have well-established work experience offers, which they are always looking to evolve or share with others. As we transition to modern work experience, we want to support employers with existing offers to understand how they align with CEC’s national outcomes framework, equalex. Watch the videos below for inspiration on how to get started, whatever phase you are in.

Introduce & Inspire

Phase one of equalex allows young people explore diverse industries and increase awareness of their passions, skills and work preferences which enables them to make informed career choices.

Investigate & Explore

Phase two of equalex supports learners to develop essential skills for the workplace, and gain a deeper knowledge and understanding about role responsibilities as well as local and national labour market information.

Apply & Demonstrate

Phase three supports young people to participate in immersive work placements, contribute to real workplace tasks, build sector-specific skills, and gain confidence through meaningful feedback and active participation in professional environments.

For those employers who want to extend their reach, we will surface innovative and impactful ways of collaborating and reaching more young people, particularly those who have been missing out.
