For School Trusts & Career Teams
This careers portal helps you turn procurement into a practical, impactful careers programme that directly supports your statutory duties and the updated Gatsby Benchmarks.
Through our portal, careers teams can:
Offer pupils meaningful real world opportunities, including apprenticeships, traineeships, entry level roles and voluntary work experience designed to build skills and confidence.
Show governors, Ofsted and stakeholders clear, evidence based careers impact that directly results from the contracts your school trust has awarded.
Demonstrate how your school trust uses public funds to improve life chances, strengthen social mobility and deliver meaningful community impact.
Embed measurable pupil outcomes and tangible progression pathways into procurement activity, ensuring decisions focus on educational benefit rather than cost alone.
How it supports career leaders
Careers and employability teams can use the portal to:
Evidence encounters with employers, workplaces and training providers required by Gatsby Benchmarks.
Build employer engagement quickly, without the need to start outreach from scratch.
Share live early career opportunities with pupils and parents.
Highlight locally relevant opportunities that align to curriculum pathways and market needs.
In addition to job and apprenticeship opportunities, many of our suppliers also provide developmental experiences, including:
Guidance on how pupils can present their work experience, skills and interests effectively.
CV and cover letter support.
Mock interviews with structured feedback.
Opportunities to understand workplace expectations and learn professional behaviours.
These interactions help pupils build confidence, improve applications and gain insight into the world of work strengthening both attainment and progression outcomes.
You retain full control over when and how roles are promoted, whether through tutor times, assemblies, parent communications, targeted interventions or curriculum linked activities.
