Holte is a member of the Birmingham Careers Hub which is funded by the Careers and Enterprise Company (DFE), Greater Birmingham & Solihull LEP and the Birmingham Education Partnership.
We at Holte School strive at all times to conform to the current “best practices” in Careers Education, Information, Advice and Guidance laid down by the government. CEIAG is seen as an integral part of the curriculum, which is available to every pupil and follows the 8 principles set out by the Gatsby Benchmarks as recommend by the DfE’s Careers Strategy (2017).
The 8 Gatsby Benchmarks
- 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
In addition to this, any advice or guidance given to pupil is personalised and appropriate. We also believe that working with outside agencies is an invaluable part of CEIAG curriculum on offer. Some useful websites are listed below.
