Your CEIAG provision impacts directly on what happens to your learners as they progress to, through and beyond the 14 to 19 phase of their lives.
It has a direct impact on their understanding of what’s available to them, the decisions they make, their level of motivation and achievement, and the success of their transitions.
If you want your learners to achieve high standards, see the value and relevance of their learning, and choose options and pathways that are successful for them, Career Mark is the tool for you.
Using Career Mark you will enable you to deliver the best possible careers education and employability skills development programme, one which is sophisticated, integrated and effective.
The bottom line – why bother
The Career Mark framework provides a number of benefits to organisations:
1. A process and a toolkit for improving delivery and outcomes
Extensive research over many years has shown that high quality careers education and guidance programmes increases student motivation, attendance, attainment and progression.
2. Helps your students to make a positive transition to a successful adult life, as it:
-
galvanises both staff and young people
-
fuses the academic and pastoral curriculum areas
-
brings a real life context to academic subjects
-
contributes to the raising of student motivation, attainment and aspiration
3. Improves your reputation with local employers
Added to this positive spin off for organisations, Career Mark in turn leads to improved employer involvement in supporting the school curriculum and general school life.
4. Directly supports Ofsted inspection and self evaluation
5. Mapped against other Standards such as Matrix, Chartermark and Investors in People.
