Please note - this is not a public tender Competition - Pre-Market Engagement Exercise only. The Department for the Economy’s Careers Service offers impartial and personalised advice and guidance on an all-age basis provided by professionally qualified Careers Advisers. The provision of high-quality careers services plays a crucial role in connecting our people with the full range of opportunities across our economy.
