Brighton Forward's focus on Careers and Employment
At Brighton Forward, we prioritise equipping our students with the skills and experiences necessary to transition successfully into the workforce. Our commitment to supporting SEND and vulnerable young people is reflected in our tailored career guidance and work experience programmes, which are designed to align with their individual interests and strengths. By fostering a secure and supportive environment, we empower our students to explore various career pathways, enhancing their confidence and engagement in the process.
In line with the Gatsby Benchmarks, which provide a framework for good career guidance in schools, we ensure that our students receive comprehensive support across all eight benchmarks. This includes providing access to a stable careers programme, engaging with employers, and offering meaningful work experience opportunities. By integrating these benchmarks into our curriculum, we aim to create a seamless transition for our students from education to employment, ultimately setting them on a path toward independence and fulfilling careers.
