Why a career in leadership?
Senior Leaders and Governors in schools and colleges play a key role in driving ambitious and embedded programmes led by dedicated Careers Leaders.
Careers education can be a vehicle for driving broader school outcomes, and by having a strong understanding of the key principles of high-quality careers offer, strategic leaders in schools can enable programmes led by Careers Leaders to thrive.
Key Ideas for Senior Leaders and Governors
Careers provision is underpinned by the Gatsby Benchmarks, and the Careers Hub provides a range of resources to support schools to achieve and excel beyond these criteria.

Resources for staff and governors:
The Careers Impact System (CIS) is designed to be engaged with by senior leaders in schools and Multi Academy Trusts, systematically raising standards and striving for continuous improvement using a Maturity Model.
Schools and MATs engage in internal leadership reviews and peer-to-peer reviews- the Hub will provide more information on how your school could get involved later in the Autumn Term.
You can read more about the CIS on the Careers and Enterprise Company website:
