By adapting the secondary Gatsby benchmarks for Good Career Guidance, we have developed a Trust framework for best practice.  

Our goal is to provide high-quality career related learning programs that introduce our students to various job sectors, help them understand the world of work, and teach them important skills for getting a job.

We also want to show them how what they learn in school connects to their future career choices.
