Careers provision that holds up.
A structured curriculum that strengthens your Gatsby Benchmark evidence where a platform genuinely can — labour-market learning, curriculum-to-careers links and progression skills for 16–24s. We tell you exactly which benchmarks we move, and which stay yours.
Careers leads are stretched thin.
Eight benchmarks, one careers lead, and an Ofsted that now looks hard at destinations. Fledglings takes the curriculum-shaped weight off your plate — honestly, in the areas a platform can actually help.
Careers in the curriculum
A structured employability curriculum that links learning to the world of work — the curriculum-to-careers benchmark, delivered without building it from scratch.
Off your careers lead
Self-running, interactive sessions a non-specialist can deliver — freeing your careers lead to focus on employer links and personal guidance only they can do.
Destinations evidence
Progress and engagement data that strengthens your careers evidence and the positive-destinations story inspectors increasingly ask to see.
All eight, mapped honestly.
The Gatsby Benchmarks are the standard for good careers guidance. A curriculum platform can genuinely move some — and honestly can't replace real employer encounters or a careers adviser. Here's the truth, benchmark by benchmark.
A stable careers programme
A structured, sequenced curriculum component your programme can be built around.
Learning from labour-market information
Daily news and real-world content that brings labour-market learning into every week.
Addressing the needs of each pupil
Per-learner tracking and accessibility flags so no pupil quietly falls behind.
Linking curriculum learning to careers
The core of what we do — employability, money and progression built into the curriculum.
Encounters with employers & employees
Real employer encounters are yours to arrange — we don't pretend otherwise.
Experiences of workplaces
Workplace experience happens in real workplaces, not on a platform.
Encounters with further & higher education
Progression-skills content that prepares pupils for those encounters.
Personal guidance
One-to-one guidance is the work of a qualified careers adviser — not us.
Four curricula behind better destinations.
The practical skills that turn a leaver into a confident applicant — designed for the 16–24 age range, written by people from it.
Employability Skills
CV writing, interview preparation, workplace communication, professional behaviour and progression.
Financial Literacy
Budgeting, payslips and tax, banking, credit, renting and managing money at work.
Confidence & Resilience
Emotional regulation, growth mindset, handling setbacks and everyday wellbeing.
Online Safety
Digital footprint, privacy, scams and fraud, misinformation and safe online behaviour.
We strengthen the benchmarks a curriculum can — and never claim the ones that belong to your careers lead.
From first call to careers evidence.
