The Department for Education (DfE) has updated its careers guidance for further education and sixth form colleges.
This guidance incorporates the Gatsby Benchmarks into the careers strategy for post-16 providers. This means that colleges and sixth forms should provide:
- a stable careers programme;
- access to learning from careers and labour market information;
- a programme which addresses the needs of each student;
- a curriculum linked to careers;
- encounters with employers and employees;
- work experience placements;
- encounters with further and higher education;
- personal guidance
