Careers Leaders set the careers strategy in schools and colleges and implement the careers programme. While the qualifications don't cover delivery of  personal career guidance, Careers Leader training is a critical tool to enhance career education within an organisation and ensure young people access high quality careers learning and experiences of work.

In England, schools and colleges can access CEC-funded Careers Leader training, and the CDI offers a Certificate in Careers Leadership for those who don't qualify for the funded route.
