Careers Leader Handbook
Regular price
€45.99
The third edition of this bestselling handbook for careers leaders has been fully updated to reflect the revised Gatsby Benchmarks and includes a foreword by Ryan Gibson, who led the national review into the Gatsby Benchmarks.
The importance of delivering good careers education and guidance in schools and colleges has never been greater.
Statutory guidance sets out the requirement for every school to have a named careers leader. They are expected to lead, manage and co-ordinate the school’s careers programme, across all eight Gatsby Benchmarks. This is a big job and it is often one that people will begin with little training or experience.
Drawing on 35 years’ experience of careers work, David Andrews and Tristram Hooley provide you with everything that you need to know to lead effectively and develop your role and expertise. Updated throughout to reflect the revised Gatsby Benchmarks, as well as the changes in the policy, educational and economic context in which careers leaders are now working, the third edition continues to offer practical advice and ideas for planning, developing and maintaining an excellent careers programme. Highlighting the latest resources and support available, it also gives you plentiful tools – both in the book and in additional online materials - to help you become an outstanding careers leader.
Whether you are already a careers leader, about to become one, or are involved in the training of future careers leaders, this is the book for you!
