Telephone: 0300 003 2334

A one-year course delivered in schools and colleges across Buckinghamshire and surrounding counties

The Inspiration Programme is designed to help schools provide students with enrichment opportunities to better prepare them for the world of work. Taking place throughout the academic year and aligned to the Gatsby Benchmarks, it provides real-world experience and direct links to employers to help students better understand the opportunities available to them.

An enrichment programme aligned to the Gatsby Benchmarks

By the end of this year, schools will be required, by law, to meet the eight Gatsby Benchmarks, which include workplace experience and links to the curriculum. At a time when schools need help filling the gap in their careers education and enrichment activities, The Inspiration Programme will help them fulfil these critical obligations and inspire their students with meaningful career experiences. | More

Transforming lives of students

Our education system is very good at providing young people with the wide variety of knowledge and skills that comes with a well-rounded curriculum. Helping students gain real, practical experience in workplaces and linking it to the curriculum can be a huge challenge for schools. This is there The Inspiration Programme helps schools and students. | More
