• Is designed to dovetail into subject content to enrich, update, engage and make pupils understand the relevance of what they are learning in their lessons to the jobs market.
• Makes it easy for employers to engage with young people in a way that allows them to support the curriculum without it being onerous for busy Heads of Subjects.
• Helps schools meet the new OFSTED Framework where personal development now has a larger weighting.
• Helps schools meet Gatsby Benchmarks 2, 3, 4, 5 & 6.
• Links to the new CDI Career Development Framework skills

It was a real pleasure to meet with students from Everest Community Academy. Hopefully talking to them about the chemical industry has inspired some to consider a STEM career and to further reinforce that GCSE exam questions and topics form the basis of what happens in the wider world. Good luck to you all in whatever area of work you go into.

“It was really interesting for the students to learn what air is used for and Andy was really good at linking the Physics and Maths equations to his world of work.”
