Careers inContext 2020:A can-do guide
Careers in Context: A can-do guidecareersandenterprise.co.uk1Purpose of the GuideDue to Covid-19, the end of the 2019/20 academicyear was unique. It forced changes in the waycareers guidance could be approached and delivered,and simultaneously demonstrated the agility andresponsiveness of Careers Leaders, wider school/college staff and employers. As we enter the 2020/21academic year we can see that the pandemic haschanged the value placed on quality careers guidanceas part of an institution’s recovery planning, presentingopportunities to achieve impact in new ways.At the end of last term almost three quarters (72%) ofsecondary school and college leaders felt that careersguidance had become even more important, althoughthere had been significant disruption to careersprogrammes over the lockdown.In a recent survey of young people, Engineering UKfound that as a result of Covid-19, concerns over futureprospects were common, with 62% of young peoplesurveyed agreeing that finding a job in the future hasbecome more difficult.It is recognised that there are immense and variedpressures on schools and colleges, but the combinationof more engaged senior leaders and a student body thatneeds support shows how important careers guidanceis. This guide will give Careers Leaders the confidenceto make decisions about what constitutes good careersguidance in the context of Covid-19 over the nextacademic year.The Gatsby Benchmarks have not changed and neitherhas the expectation that they remain a framework forgood career guidance. The Benchmarks continue tosupport schools and colleges in providing students withthe best possible careers guidance.“Although Covid-19 presents many challenges, anda few opportunities, the Gatsby Benchmarks remainat the heart of Careers Guidance in England. Theirprinciples are as relevant today as before the pandemic”Read the full blog from Sir John Holman here.It is also intended that Enterprise Coordinators,Enterprise Advisers, employers and other organisationswill find the information within this guide useful whenconsidering how to adapt the design and delivery ofcareers programmes in a way that continues to meetthe needs of young people.For a reminder of what good always looks like, see theGatsby Benchmark Toolkits for:SchoolCollegeSENDContinuereading
