Rebuild Support Careers Programme
Aurora Hedgeway School has commissioned Rebuild Support to support us in developing and improving our careers guidance as well as adhering to the Gatsby Charitable Foundation’s Good Career Guidance Benchmarks. Rebuild Support will work in partnership with our Careers Leader to deliver the careers programme across all eight Gatsby Benchmarks.
As an integral component of The Rebuild Support Careers Programme, Aurora Hedgeway School will implement a targeted approach to identify students who would benefit from career interviews. Rebuild will provide the school with an electronic per-assessment tool, to assist the careers advisor with each students’ individual careers plan. This collaborative effort aims to create a unique bespoke programme that not only meets the Gatsby Benchmarks but also aligns with the school's overarching vision for student success.
