Benchmark 4: linking curriculum learning to careers
states that: all subject staff should link curriculum learning with careers, even on courses that are not specifically occupation-led.聽
- By the age of 14 (or during their programme of study if at college), every pupil should have had the opportunity to learn how their subjects (including STEM subjects) help people to gain entry to, and be more effective workers within, a wide range of careers.
