The North East Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP) teamed up with the EY Foundation to deliver the Career Benchmarks: Primary Pilot.

The Career Benchmarks: Primary Pilot was a 2-year project that built on the success of the transformational Good Career Guidance Benchmark Pilot (2015-17) that led to the Benchmarks forming a central part of DfE’s 2017 Careers Strategy.

The aims of the Pilot are to translate the Good Career Guidance Benchmarks for use and implementation in primary settings and to work with 70 primary schools to test how they work. We want to understand the support and capacity needed by schools to make measurable and rapid progress towards the achievement of the Benchmarks.
