Careers Leaders
Research shows that 3 or more career talks during a young person’s education positively impacts their attainment, with those less engaged or with lower academic attainment benefitting the most*. In addition, 4 or more encounters with volunteers from the world of work can reduce the chance of students becoming NEET (Not in Education, Employment or Training). Careers talks and activities greatly enhance provision and will meet Gatsby Benchmarks 1,3,4,5,7 and 8.
