Over 200 Businesses and Educators Unite to Shape Cumbria’s Future

4 July 2025

More than 200 employers and education leaders came together yesterday (3 July) for Educate to Employ, a landmark event focused on strengthening careers education across Cumbria.

Hosted by the Cumbria Careers Hub, the event brought energy, ideas and a shared ambition to create better pathways from education into employment. Attendees were invited to contribute individual commitment plans, many of which will now help shape the next phase of collaborative action.

Initial feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, with the Careers Hub team set to begin working closely with partners to put ideas into practice and deliver lasting impact for young people across the county.

Educate to Employ marks an important step towards a more connected and opportunity-rich future for Cumbria’s next generation.
