Careers Information for Staff

Careers Education, Information, Advice & Guidance (CEIAG) at BGGS is student centred, universal, progressive and outcome focused.

A stable careers programme is based on the eight Gatsby Benchmarks, which enables BGGS to meet its compulsory and statutory obligations.

BGGS Careers Programme

BGGS delivers Labour Market Information (LMI) through a range of industry partnerships and collaborations.

All curriculum areas have undergone a Careers Audit and Contextual Analysis has been undertaken to inform the planning, development, design and implementation of our careers programme.

The benefits of embedding Careers within BGGS curriculums are complemented through the 3 annual Drop Down Days.

All staff at Bordesley Green School contribute to careers provision. You may encounter career-related questions or activities, even if you’re not a Careers Adviser.

Useful actions include:

Becoming familiar with the Gatsby Benchmarks, especially Benchmark 4 (Linking Curriculum Learning to Careers).
Embedding careers into schemes of work.
Highlighting jobs linked to your subject.
Using Unifrog in lessons to reinforce employability skills.
Creating careers displays within departments.
Staying informed about future career pathways, including T Levels, V Levels, and apprenticeships.
Encouraging extra-curricular involvement.
Reviewing the BGGS careers programme.
Meeting with the careers team for support.
