We completed two major reports in North East England:

• Co-designed an innovative all-age careers framework for County Durham
• Mapped provision across the North East Combined Authority region to support the Mayor's manifesto on all-age careers provision, skills and employment

In June 2024, Greater London Authority (GLA) commissioned dmh associates to conduct a mixed methods evaluation of the London Careers Programme, examining achievements against objectives, KPIs, and identifying good practice for future strategic direction.

The evaluation included rapid evidence search, surveys, interviews, focus groups, and quantitative assessment of impact and ROI led by Dr Chris Percy, Senior Associate.

dmh associates worked successfully with Envision undertaking a 3-year consultancy and impact assessment review (2022-2025) of a new skills programme 'Improving skills and post-school transitions for under-represented young people', sponsored by The Mercers' Company.

Three new Routledge publications, now available at special reduced prices:
