Guidance says: “Every school and college needs a Careers Leader who has the energy and commitment, and backing from the senior leadership team, to deliver the careers programme across all eight Benchmarks.” Why? Careers The curriculum or learning-based approach and the evidence for it can be summarised as follows: Strategy In a learning approach, the various careers work components are integrated into the mainstream curriculum to provide a coherent, meaningful and developmental education. There is evidence both from the UK and internationally demonstrating that this approach is the most effective mode of delivery for careers work in schools. However, given the centrality of the curriculum, these approaches require substantial buy- in from school leaders, with support from partners and in-school champions.
