Answer
The Careers Portal Project is currently in hibernation following the absence of a sustainable funding solution. A decision on whether it should continue or close will be considered through a review process aligned with the budget cycle and business planning.
This review will take account of funding opportunities, affordability, strategic priorities, stakeholder support and restart readiness.
