GOOD CAREER GUIDANCE THE GATSBY BENCHMARKS Ryan Gibson – National Facilitator
WHAT DOES GOOD CAREER GUIDANCE LOOK LIKE? - Professor Sir John Holman (former Headteacher) - Six International Visits – Netherlands, Germany, Hong Kong, Finland, Canada, Republic of Ireland. - 8 benchmarks of ‘Good Careers Guidance’ identified. - Schools starting points in relation to the benchmarks tested via a survey of 10% of schools in England. Findings combined with the international research. - National Pilot commissioned in 2015 to test how schools and colleges can move from their starting points to a position of achieving the benchmarks. Monitor
THE EIGHT BENCHMARKS FOR PROVIDING GOOD CAREER GUIDANCE 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 Monitor 7. Encounters with further and higher education 8. Personal guidance
GATSBY BENCHMARKS NATIONAL PILOT: AIMS - To embed the Good Career Guidance Benchmarks in 16 schools and colleges in the North East Local Enterprise Partnership area. - To test the benchmarks in action, documenting the conditions, support and capacity needed by schools and colleges to make measurable and rapid progress towards the achievement of the benchmarks . Monitor
IF YOUNG PEOPLE KNOW MORE ABOUT THE RANGE OF CAREERS OPEN TO PEOPLE WITH THE RIGHT QUALIFICATIONS, THEY WILL HAVE A CLEARER IDEA OF THE ROUTES TO BETTER JOBS.

The Careers Leader is Crucial • Schools and Colleges are making rapid progress towards fully achieving the high standards of the benchmarks. • Progress is more rapid when the careers leader is a member of the senior leadership team or reports to an active senior leadership team link who has responsibility for the strategic quality of careers education. • The results also demonstrate that it is possible to make significant and rapid progress - using the benchmarks as a framework - to carefully target improvements in schools/colleges of every type, size, location and structure if this leadership is in place.

Careers Leaders Alastair Falk Head of Education CAREERS & THE ENTERPRISE COMPANY
Careers Strategy • “Every school and college needs a Careers Leader who has the energy and commitment, and backing from the senior leadership team, to deliver the careers programme across all eight Benchmarks.” • Careers Leaders need to: • have the appropriate skills and experience • be sufficiently senior to lead the implementation of all eight of the Benchmarks • have buy-in from the Governors and the Senior Leadership team • work with subject teachers across the school or college so that careers provision is embedded within the curriculum
Careers Strategy • Gatsby and the CEC will work with school and college leaders to set out clearly what Careers Leaders should do, what the job involves, and the benefits of the role. • From September 2018 every school is expected to publish the name and contact details of their Careers Leader on their website. • Government will provide £4 million to fund the development of new training programmes and support at least 500 schools and colleges in areas of the country needing most support to train their own Careers Leaders and build momentum behind this enhanced role. • Training will be piloted and evaluated before considering whether to make it available more widely. We will pilot the first training in 2018/19 academic year.
Statutory Guidance • Only applies to schools • “From September 2018 every school should appoint a named person to the role of careers leader” • We are currently commenting on College Statutory Guidance drafts. Retains reference to Careers Leaders.
The role of careers leadership Leadership Management Co- Networking ordination A careers leader is………. • Not a careers advisor (although these roles should work together and can be combined). • A leadership role and needs to have a strong route to the school’s SLT and Headteacher
Personal attributes A careers leader should be someone who has: • an interest in careers, employability and the futures of young people; • an interest in their own professional development and the willingness to contribute to the professional development of others; • an open mind about different educational routes and what constitutes career success; • a passion for developing curriculum and working with other educators in a cross- curricular way; • experience of managing projects and monitoring the progress and implementation of new initiatives; • interpersonal and team working skills; • strong communication skills; • the ability to make changes across the school and to develop the school’s systems; • the ability to take initiative and be proactive; and • the capacity to lead, influence and inspire others.
How do schools organise careers leadership? 1. Middle leader A teacher, or non-teaching member of staff, is appointed to a middle leadership role, with line management support from a senior leader with overall responsibility for careers. The role is combined with other responsibilities, as a teacher, a non-teaching member of staff or a careers adviser. 2. Senior leader A member of the school’s senior leadership, who may be a teacher or a non-teaching member of staff, is given direct responsibility for the leadership of careers. The role is combined with other responsibilities as a senior leader. 3. Outsourced The school contracts with an external organisation or leadership individual to provide its careers leadership. 4. Distributed The tasks of careers leadership are shared between a group leadership of senior and middle leaders working together as a team. 5. Multi-school One individual is the careers leader for more than one leadership school.
Training • We will be funding 500 training bursaries. • These will be available to use with approved training providers. • Details about how to access this training will be made available by the CEC over the summer term. • The first training courses will start from January 2019.
