  7. Purpose of Session • Explain what Gatsby is and why it’s been introduced • Statutory requirements for careers advice and guidance in schools • Tools and resources you can use to help meet the Gatsby benchmarks • 10 ways you can improve your school’s careers provision

  8. Why Gatsby? The Gatsby Benchmarks are a framework of 8 guidelines about what makes the best careers provision in schools and colleges. The Careers Strategy is built around them, and they make a great place to start for planning or improving your programme. • Originally published in 2014 • 'No magic bullet' - Sir John Holman • Aim for 100% coverage to meet the Benchmark

  9. Why Gatsby? 'Good career guidance is the key to social mobility: it is about showing young people - whatever their social and family background - the options open to them, and helping them make the right choices to set them on the right path to rewarding future careers.' (taken from Good Career Guidance - Reaching the Gatsby Benchmarks)

  10. Gatsby Benchmarks - What Are They? 1: A stable careers programme 2: Learning from career and labour market information 3: Addressing the needs of each pupil 4: Linking curriculum learning to careers 5: Encounters with employers and employees 6: Experiences of workplaces 7: Encounters with further and higher education 8: Personal guidance

  11. Compass - Careers Benchmarking Tool The Compass tool allows schools to complete a self assessment activity against each benchmark Results are saved so you can map your progress https://www.careersandenterprise.co.uk/schools-colleges/compass-benchmark-tool

  12. Mapping Activities to Benchmarks • On your table you will have a selection of activities you can run in your school • In your groups discuss which benchmarks each activity could meet

  13. Examples of Good Practice • Recording activity • Career programme • Drop down days • Employer engagement

  14. Evidence of Meeting Benchmarks

  15. Career Programme Key points to include: • Aim of each activity • Target year group • Gatsby benchmark • Time of delivery Use the programme as a working document and to identify any gaps

  16. Career Drop Down Days • One year group off timetable for a day • Carousel of different providers providing input • Could include sessions on FE, HE, career options, local LMI, employer insights

  17. 10 ‘Quick Wins’ to Improve Careers Provision (according to the 'Gatsby Benchmark Toolkit‘) • Have a Careers Leader - a named person responsible for careers (not the same as a careers adviser). • Complete 'Compass' to evaluate current provision. • Join the Enterprise Adviser Network and gain access to an Enterprise Coordinator and an Enterprise Adviser (employer) • Update website with information about the careers programme and policy.

  18. ‘Quick Wins’ Continued • Start early with careers work ideally in year 7. • Engage all stakeholders including parents and employers. • Develop careers content in all subjects, not just PSHE • Take advantage of labour market resources and make them available to all students and parents. • Provide all students with information on all routes. • Provide experience of workplaces for all students.
