- Connecting learning to the future
- Motivate students by giving them a clearer idea of the routes to jobs and careers that they will find engaging and rewarding.
- Widening students’ horizons, challenge stereotypes and raise aspirations.
- Providing students with the knowledge and skills necessary to make successful transitions to the next stage of their lives.
- Supporting social mobility by improving opportunities for all students, especially those from disadvantaged backgrounds and those with special educational needs and disabilities
