Who Is this Webinar for?
Teachers, career advisers and Career Leaders
Many are in the early stages of formulating their strategies to achieve all eight Gatsby Benchmarks.
There are over 5,000 schools, colleges and sixth forms in England who are preparing millions of young learners for a wide range of career opportunities.
While the focus of the webinar is on helping to achieve the Gatsby Benchmarks for their 16 to 19-year-old learners (and up to 25-year-olds for those with an Education, Health and Care Plan), it is important to bear in mind that 14 to 16-year-old learners and the significant numbers of learners who are over 18 also need careers support. We hope that many of the tips and suggestions shared over this webinar series will be helpful in developing services for all learners.
What to Expect?
Sharon Walpole, an industry leading expert and television panellist, will host guest speakers from employers, sector skills organisations and career experts to give you a leading insight and inspiration for hitting the Gatsby benchmarks.
The sessions will last 50 minutes and are at 4pm. You can actively join the discussion through a closed messaging service. Each session allows time for a Q&A to explore discussions further.
Gain the knowledge you need to ensure you are hitting the Gatsby Benchmarks
