Careers Impact System

The Careers Impact System supports continuous improvement in the quality of careers education.

It provides a structured approach for schools and colleges to evaluate careers leadership, provision and impact using a nationally agreed maturity model linked to the Gatsby Benchmarks.

The system helps Careers Leaders and senior leaders embed careers into whole‑school improvement, strengthening leadership, consistency and outcomes for learners. Many schools take part through self‑evaluation and peer‑to‑peer review activity supported by Careers Hubs.
