Careers Wales

What is Careers Wales?

Careers Wales is an all-Wales service that gives people of all ages free careers information, advice and guidance

Funded by the Welsh Assembly Government, Careers Wales was set up in 2001 bringing together six careers companies across Wales under one name.

Our work contributes to the Welsh Assembly Government's Lifelong Learning Agenda, encouraging people to engage in learning, skills, and career development, leading to economic prosperity for individuals and the nation as a whole.
As well as providing careers information and advice, Careers Wales manages services such as the Learning and Careers Advice telephone helpline, Workforce Development, Education Business Partnerships, Business Support Services, Youth Gateway and CLIC, the national information and advice service for young people aged 11-25.

Careers Wales is committed to equal opportunities. Our services are designed to meet individual needs regardless of race, gender, marital status, age, disability, beliefs, sexual orientation, social or economic background.

Our services are available in English and Welsh. You are welcome to correspond with us in English or Welsh.
