Survey

Manor Property Group is committed to a £1billion investment to establish and fund 160 ground-breaking centres for impartial career guidance (Qdos Career Hubs) and create over 10,000 jobs in the U.K.

We’re working with CDI Members to get your expert opinion on what physical resources and activities are needed most to support the careers education you provide, in your locality.

Each of the 160 nationwide Qdos Career Hubs will provide over 30,000 young people with labour market intelligence-directed career guidance, complementing, not competing, with local careers services… providing employer-driven project-based learning, industry events, virtual business tours… and much more.



This includes Manor:
  1. purchasing land required, plus
  2. capital funding the full design and build and fit out, plus 
  3. revenue funding the Hubs for 2 years, to support long-term sustainability through proof of concept (based on international practice) and independent impact evaluation. (See the Akrill Review for more information).
We want to make the first phase of Qdos Career Hubs operationally available to communities hard hit by unemployment in 2021.

Please help us to direct Manor’s investment where it may have most impact, to support your vital work, by completing this 3-minute questionnaire.

There are 12 questions to complete, please.
