Babcock, through its joint venture company BabcockEnterprise, is
one of the UK's leading providers of high-quality, leading-edge
careers education and guidance. We support over 400,000 adults and
young people across 19 local authorities a year, delivering all
aspects of careers education and guidance. We also have expertise
in developing learning resources including e-learning and
publishing, occupational information, e-guidance, labour market
information, NVQ assessment, social and economic research, careers
services to the independent sector, and adult guidance.
We specialise in delivering one-to-one advice and guidance in a
