This document discusses the transition from 20th century to 21st century careers education in schools. In the 20th century, careers education was overseen by one teacher and included CVs, work experience, and interviews. Now, there is a statutory duty for schools to provide careers education. The document outlines the Gatsby benchmarks that shape current careers provision, including learning from career and labor market information, employer encounters, and experiences of workplaces. It provides tips for implementing comprehensive careers education, such as identifying support, communicating with stakeholders, rewarding existing good practices, and evaluating impact and student outcomes.

Editor's Notes
- Often no training tap on the shoulder Somebody did the list, often badly managed leaving gaps in the Cas day Not assessed, not delivered by specialists Little prep or debrief.
- This is the headline that most heads and SLT hear Ofsted want to see this, even in short inspections But most of all they want to see this So this needs to be your priority Can no longer fit into pshe it has to be cross curricular
- Need support from the top to make an impact who can that be? Show them evidence Ofsted, TF report, Statutory guidance, Govs responsibility Good practice case studies on the Careers England Website Get careers on the school improvement plan Give the governors the handout from the National Governors Association They have a responsibility to ensure it happens Who are the people that are always at your side? Pamper them Look out for NQTs and others looking for a niche Highlight good practice.
- Start with the Nfer audit Use that to start a discussion with SLT Get a link person if you dont already have one. Use the new CDI framework Pick up a copy tomorrow or download from the CDI website Start to promote careers work to teachers reward involvement with praise and acknowledgement Get some time in MLT and get subject leaders to highlight what they do
- Which of these are you going to track? This all links into having a programme what are your desired outcomes This must be agreed and set out at the start of the process.
