        What are Gatsby Benchmarks?
    The Gatsby Benchmarks are a framework of 8 guidelines about 
    what makes the best careers provision in schools and colleges. 
    The Careers Strategy is built around them, and they are a great 
    place to start for planning or improving your programme.

               Why Gatsby?
    “Good career guidance is the key to social mobility: it is about 
    showing young people - whatever their social and family 
    background - the options open to them, and helping them make 
    the right choices to set them on the right path to rewarding future 
    careers.”

    Benchmarks)
