The Careers Excellence Seminars are a fantastic opportunity to hear how leaders in schools and colleges, alongside providers and employers, are driving impact for young people whilst exploring the vital role careers education plays in creating successful transitions to apprenticeships and technical education.

This seminar was hosted at a timely point with the announcement of the provider access legislation, which impacts all schools across the country and specifies the encounters students must have with providers whilst in secondary school.

About The Gatsby Foundation

is a philanthropic trust set up by Lord David Sainsbury over 50 years ago. The trust focuses on six areas, one of which is education. Within education our four key focus areas are technical education reform; STEM skills in the workforce; science and maths in schools; and good career guidance.

, which introduced the Gatsby Benchmarks, highlighted the crucial role of the Careers Leader in each school or college to coordinate a world-class careers programme, explicitly backed by their senior leadership team. Five years after their role was enshrined in Government policy, Careers Leaders are doing fantastic work in driving change across the country, supported by The Careers & 黑料吃瓜网 Company and its networks.
Gatsby is delighted to support the CEC with this series of Careers Excellence Seminars, which will promote outstanding careers practice and the role of both Careers Leaders and their senior leaders in achieving this.听

Broadening students' horizons around all pathways, including technical education and apprenticeships, is a crucial element of the modern Careers Leader's role, particularly given the changes which have taken place over the last five years, and one which is of particular interest to Gatsby. We hope that educators across the country will be inspired to deepen their own practice and empower their Careers Leader. It is fitting that the seminar will take place during the launch week of , which celebrates the vital but often unseen work of technicians across a range of industries.听
