The Annual Conference for Teachers and Advisers 2025

Jessica Pieri is a Level 6 qualified Careers Advisor and the founder of The Careers People, established in 2018. Originally focused on providing careers guidance to schools in select regions, the company has since expanded to work with over 160 schools across the UK, delivering award-winning products that enhance secondary schools' careers programs.

Committed to staying at the forefront of the evolving schools landscape, Jessica actively works in London schools, offering one-on-one guidance to students navigating critical decisions about their futures. Her extensive experience ranges from supporting students at risk of becoming NEET (not in education, employment, or training) to advising Oxbridge aspirants.

While Jessica enjoys all aspects of career guidance, she is particularly passionate about helping students who may not have access to the support they need. Her work with First in Family students has opened doors for many young people, creating pathways to higher education that they hadn't previously considered.
