Gatsby Benchmark 8
Personal guidance - Every pupil should have opportunities for guidance interviews with a careers adviser, who could be internal (a member of school staff) or external, provided they are trained to an appropriate level. Careers Advisers should at least be qualified to Level 6.
Personal guidance helps students to consolidate and reflect upon their vocational identity, career decision making and self-efficacy. It is a focal point for making sense of the vital ingredients in the careers programme, knitting together the learning from each of the Benchmarks, including encounters with employers and higher education, experiences of workplaces and career learning in subjects.
