Salutem is committed to delivering effective careers advice and guidance to all our students using the Gatsby benchmarks as a framework. Our aim is to continually improve the effectiveness of our career programme, demonstrate the value of career planning and outcomes, demonstrate the impact of this plan to funders and stakeholders and evidence the quality of provision.
The intention is to provide a culture where planning for a future career is a golden thread starting from the moment our apprentices start their employment.
Before the apprenticeship
- We will undertake a skills scan with the learner and consider how any prior work experience might impact future career prospects and use this information to guide future 1:1 career discussions
- We will develop a career curriculum that is differentiated to support the needs of individual learners taking account of equality, diversion and inclusion
- We will plan career events and activities for all students to undertake during their apprenticeship
During the apprenticeship
- Career learning is embedded into the apprenticeship
- All learners undertake at least two meaningful encounters to develop their careers linked to the knowledge, skills and behaviours of the apprenticeship
- We work with the apprentice employers to allow apprentices to experience different workplace settings
- We engage with parents and carers to encourage the apprentices to develop personal career plans that are reviewed with their employer and tutor during quarterly reviews
- We provide access to information about progression opportunities and discuss with their employer during reviews
- We provide 1:1 career support to all individual learners
After the apprenticeship
- We invite feedback from the learners, employers, parents and carers to measure the impact of the career plan
- This feedback informs our self assessment report and quality improvement plan and be used to update future career guidance plans
- We update our alumni board showing the destination data of all our apprentices
- We contact all ex students annually to update our “Where are they now” information and share this with all our current students
