Teachers
A Commitment to ‘The Gatsby Benchmarks’
As a teacher at Dene Academy, you can have a huge influence on the future of our pupils. You can shape and influence the choices they make and the pathways they intend to follow. It is therefore vital that you are empowered to support our pupils and have access to the most up to date information about careers and the possible destinations our pupils may pursue.
As a school community, we are committed to: The Gatsby Benchmarks
These are the 8 benchmarks every school aims to achieve which would ensure an effective CEIAG programme.
1. A stable careers programme
2. Learning from career and labour market information
3. Addressing the needs of each pupil
4. Linking curriculum learning to careers
5. Encounters with employers and employees
6. Experiences of workplaces
7. Encounters with further and higher education
8. Personal guidance
Labour Market Information
The world of work is ever changing and it is vitally important that you are able to provide students with the most up to date information about the career field(s) that they are interested in.
Labour Market Information (LMI) is exactly this, up to date information about employment across all sectors. Specific information about the North East would suggest that the growth areas in the region are: advanced manufacturing, digital technology, construction, transport, energy (specifically renewables), health and life sciences.
Collaboration
At Dene, we collaborate with many outside agencies who help and support our careers programme. If you need help in accessing outside agencies, please refer to these useful services.
