Careers Strategy

In December 2017, the Department for Education released the Careers Strategy and then subsequent guidance ‘Careers guidance and access for education and training providers' (updated January 2023). The documents outline a framework of expectations called the Gatsby Benchmarks with the intention of raising the standard of Careers Education, Information, Advice and Guidance across schools and colleges. For more information, read the Gatsby Benchmarks guide. 

The Careers Leader for City College Norwich is Helen Richardson-Hulme. If you wish to discuss the college's Careers Strategy or Careers Programme, please email Helen.Richardson-Hulme@ccn.ac.uk  or call 01603 773070.

Matrix accredited service 

We are a ‘Matrix’ accredited service with qualified Level 6 careers advisers.

The Matrix Standard is a unique quality standard for organisations to assess and measure their advice and support services. It recognises the support individuals get in their choice of career, learning, work and life goals.
