We have seen lots of conversation and speculation around the recent changes to the Gatsby Benchmarks and what this actually means for schools, Career Leaders, teachers and students and we thought we’d offer our take! 📣
At Talent Spaces and Upskill Me, our vast range of programmes and events, including our employer insight days, industry society programmes and Empower Me STEM series, can support you in ensuring your institution is meeting Benchmarks 2, 5 & 6 and your most under-served young people can engage meaningfully with leading employers.
How can we help? ✅
💡 Benchmark 2: Learning from career and labour market information
Through our multi-employer events, we provide students with up-to-date information on careers, pathways and the labour market, with a focus on apprenticeships and degree apprenticeship routes. Our apprenticeship events not only cover the range of opportunities available but also upskilling sessions on modern recruitment practises such as assessment centres and virtual interviews.
💡 Benchmark 5: Encounters with employers and employees
💡 Benchmark 6: Experiences of the workplace
We provide direct encounters with a variety of leading industry employers such as HSBC, Barclays, Addleshaw Goddard, Pfizer, GSK, BT, Amazon and Dyson! 💼
These events are often hosted in their own offices, providing students with the opportunity to experience real-life corporate environments, gain insight to the range of roles/opportunities available and to engage directly with employees of similar backgrounds and experiences. 🌐
