Overview
Careers Education, Information, Advice and Guidance (CEIAG) is a range of activities. This includes career interviews, one-on-one careers guidance, action planning and transition support. It helps students and young people make informed decisions about their future education and career paths.
We deliver high-quality careers guidance tailored to the needs of both your school and your students. Furthermore, all CEIAG work is carried out by our expert team of practitioners, who hold the Level 6 Diploma in Career Guidance and Development. As SEND specialists, we also provide specialist Information, Advice and Guidance (IAG). This supports young people with special educational needs and disabilities to understand and navigate the pathways and opportunities available to them. We work with young people and their families to explore options, recognise strengths and aspirations, build confidence and make informed decisions about their next steps. In addition, we offer employability skills work to help young people recognise and develop their abilities. As a result, they are better prepared for successful post-16 destinations.
We hold the matrix Standard, a unique nationally recognised quality standard which assesses and measures the information, advice, and guidance services that ultimately support individuals in their choice of career, learning, work, and life goals. The most recent matrix Assessment noted the genuine commitment from staff to provide quality and young person-centred services.
“The advice really helped me to think about my subject choices to fit with what I want to do for a job in the future.” – Student

Gatsby Benchmarks
We align all our programmes with the Gatsby Benchmarks. The May 2025 updates introduced revised summaries and measurable criteria for each benchmark. View the Careers guidance and access for education and training providers.
While CEIAG focuses primarily on Gatsby Benchmark 8, we can tailor our support to address all Gatsby Benchmarks and meet the specific needs of your school.
