The government-backed Careers & Enterprise Company announced the successful bidders for its latest round of funding from its Investment Fund which will target almost 20,000 students across the country.

The investment is part of a wider first tranche of a £12million fund administered by the Company which aims to boost social mobility by creating a new generation of mentors from the business community.
