Quality in Careers

WELCOME TO THE QUALITY IN CAREERS WEBSITE

The Quality in Careers Standard is the national quality award for careers education, information, advice and guidance (CEIAG) in secondary schools, colleges and work-based learning.

This link takes to the section “What is the Quality in Careers Standard?”

The Standard is accessible in England, Northern Ireland, the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands and is fully aligned with the Gatsby Benchmarks for “Good Career Guidance”.

The Standard is “strongly recommended” by, and fully  complies with, the Department for Education’s ”statutory guidance”.

The Consortium also offers a process of “national endorsement” for awarding bodies providing quality awards for careers education in primary schools:
