Encouraging all staff within a school or college to promote careers education means that students can make connections between subjects and links to roles and sectors that may form part of their career exploration and planning. Directing staff to relevant and useful content or providing CPD sessions on linking careers to the curriculum can ensure that teaching staff can be part of the careers provision for the school, helping students understand a bigger application of subject content and its relevance in making future choices. Linking careers to the curriculum is covered by Gatsby Bench Mark 4.
