Delivered through East Sussex County Council’s Employability & Skills service and co-funded by The Careers & Enterprise Company, the East Sussex Careers Hub brings together secondary schools, colleges, special schools, and local employers to inspire and prepare young people for the world of work. Through our Enterprise Adviser Network, Industry Champions, and Open Doors workplace visits, we support schools and colleges in achieving the Gatsby Benchmarks and embedding careers education from primary school through to post-16.

Working alongside the Hub, the East Sussex County Council Work Experience (WEX) Team delivers a dedicated traded work experience service for schools across the county. Our service provides tiered placement support—from in-person employer health and safety assessments and access to our eProspectus employer database, through to fully matched placements and bespoke, intensive support for vulnerable learners and young people with SEND.
