Our Approach
Rosie Tallent, Careers Facilitator, The Wherry School
The network meets regularly to discuss, inform and promote local labour market information, as well as promoting opportunities and creating events that are beneficial to a wider network of schools. These network meetings allow for up to date information to be shared and to ensure that we all are able to interpret information correctly as stated in the Gatsby Benchmarks.
The Careers Facilitator Network has allowed me to not only become a better practitioner but has also improved the experience and opportunities available to our young people and provided us with the care as well as confidence to succeed with our Gatsby Benchmark targets.
Rosie Tallent, Careers Facilitator, The Wherry School
The Network has assisted with both strategic and operational elements of complying with the Gatsby Benchmarks from planning to implementation and then evaluating. It has provided a forum to work through best practice scenarios and experiences and share opportunities with colleagues. This deep dive approach has been fundamental to the success of our schools career development. The events we worked together to produce for our students have had a lasting impact and we all look forward to when they can commence again. Our students still talk about these events and often refer back to them.
On a personal level, this experience has pointed me in the direction of further learning opportunities which have not only benefitted me, but my school and have given me a toolkit of knowledge to assist our students in accessing a meaningful future.
Regular meetings and events held; we were encouraged to bring working documents and examples of our practise we could share with one another. We also had local providers and other incentives come and work with us to ensure we are aware of local opportunities.
Nothing identified.
None other than time.
