Together with the Careers and Enterprise Company (CEC), we work with school leaders, governors, and career leaders to build modern, 21st-century careers education programmes.
From training programmes to resources, advice, and support, we're here to help.

The Gatsby Benchmarks
The Gatsby Benchmarks define what world-class careers provision in education looks like and provide a clear framework for organising the careers provision at your school or college.
The benchmarks are enshrined in statutory guidance.
Careers Leaders are responsible for overseeing the implementation of the benchmarks in their education settings.
Careers Leaders
Careers Leaders are responsible and accountable for the planning, delivery and impact measurement of their school, special school or college's strategic careers plan and progressive careers programme.
It's a key role that involves aligning careers provision to the strategic priorities of the school, special school or college and overseeing work towards meeting the Gatsby Benchmarks in a meaningful way for young people.
The Careers Leader needs to be someone who can:
- Take responsibility for continuous improvement of the strategic careers plan and the progressive careers programme, which should be planned and implemented to ensure positive outcomes for young people.
- Coordinate and manage the various elements of the careers programme informed by a strategic careers plan aligned to school, special school or college priorities.
- Liaise with external partners, such as employers, learning providers and career guidance services.
- Pay careful attention to feedback from all stakeholders and to the destinations of pupils.
Careers Link Governors
Careers Link Governors play a crucial role in supporting their schools to help young people find their best next step out of education and into the world of work.
They support their school or college at a strategic level, ensuring that the facility meets their legal requirements and equips students with the tools and knowledge to make informed choices about their futures.
