What schools say
“The careers curriculum has been invaluable to our school. It has been the complete package with delivery PPTs, workbooks and visual roadmaps. The progression framework and overviews have also been useful when creating the careers curriculum roadmap and a careers handbook for stakeholders. We are about a third of the way through and the response from staff teaching it has been really positive, saying it is easy to use.”
