Career Support

Good quality careers education, information, advice and guidance (CEIAG) connects learning to the future, and it has never been more important and relevant for young people than it is today. Careers is the engine to social mobility, aspiration and achievement. Young people are motivated when they know what they want to achieve in their lives and how to go about it. Good careers guidance pushes the boundaries of opportunity, challenges stereotypes, raises aspiration and provides young people with the knowledge and skills necessary to make well informed decisions and successful transitions to the next stage of their lives.

A good careers programme is vital to all students to help raise their confidence, aspirations and to help them capitalise on the opportunities that are given to them. To ensure that we are providing the best careers programme we can, we have to follow the Gatsby Benchmarks. The eight benchmarks form a clear framework that has been put in place to ensure that we are following the statutory guidance and it is our job to ensure we are implementing the benchmarks in the school setting. Please see the link below for a more in-depth explanation of the benchmarks.

Teachers

Teachers can get support with linking careers into the curriculum from the Careers Team. Resources are available for you and CPD training is carried out.

Employers

Employers are an integral part of our careers programme. By engaging with our students, you can help them to understand what it is really like in the work environment.

There are many ways that you can be involved including 1-2-1 mentors, being part of our employer fair, working on curriculum-based projects with the students, guest speaking, allowing the students to job shadow, work experience, interview and CV support.

If you would like to get involved with the Chase High School careers programme and help drive our students to success, please contact the Careers Lead Edel Donlon via email edel.donlon@chasehigh.org.
