The Careers & Enterprise Company and the Gatsby Charitable Foundation developed Compass, a free online tool that helps schools to evaluate and monitor improvements in their careers provision against the Gatsby benchmarks, which is now used by over 3,000 schools and colleges.<\/p>
The Careers & Enterprise Company collects this information, which is published annually at a national level. The 2018 \u2018State of the Nation\u2019 report provides an updated assessment of progress, based on the Compass results of 3,092 schools and colleges. It shows that benchmark engagement and performance have both improved:<\/p>
The report is available to view at: https://www.careersandenterprise.co.uk/stateofthenation<\/a>.<\/p> A good way to highlight the importance of the Gatsby Benchmarks is for individual MPs to contact the schools in their constituency.<\/p>"}

Careers Hubs comprise of up to 40 local schools and colleges working together with universities, training providers, employers and careers professionals to improve careers education.<\/p> <\/p> In October 2018 the Secretary of State announced the government would test Careers Hubs in a further 20 areas. This will bring the total amount of government investment in Careers Hubs to £7.5 million. Applications are being accepted for the second wave of Careers Hubs until 22 February 2019. The standard model is for Local Enterprise Partnerships and Combined Authorities to coordinate bids in partnership with named schools and colleges. However, in any places where the Local Enterprise Partnership or Combined Authority does not wish to bid, we will welcome bids from other groups of 20-40 schools and colleges who wish to come together.<\/p> <\/p> To support all interested groups in applying for the second wave of Careers Hubs, The Careers & Enterprise Company produced a \u2018Careers Hub Prospectus\u2019. This can be found on The Careers & Enterprise Company website at: https://www.careersandenterprise.co.uk/bid-become-hub<\/a>. Regional Leads from The Careers & Enterprise Company have also been in touch with potential bidders to offer guidance on how to interpret the prospectus.<\/p> <\/p> Successful applications for the second wave of Hubs will be notified by mid-April and will be operational from September 2019.<\/p> <\/p>"}
