Empowering teachers, parents and students
“We know how important meeting people in industry and work-related experiences are for developing aspirations in students. Despite the introduction of Gatsby Benchmarks to ensure students leave school 'Work Ready', schools have been left with little support to make careers education really work in school. We want to help schools and business make meaningful connections so that students are enriched and inspired."
