Gatsby Benchmarks
The effective delivery of employability skills provides every pupil with the best possible chance of a successful career. The greater the adoption and implementation of these skills, the more future prospects are enhanced, regardless of whether a school leaver goes on to attend university, start work or an apprenticeship.
At BeReady we believe that all pupils deserve this opportunity and that schools across the UK should be given as much support as possible to provide employability skills to their students. Limited budgets and resources create significant barriers to internal delivery, and this is where we step in.
Meeting Gatsby Benchmarks
The BeReady employability skills programme is a free, easy to implement solution that helps schools and colleges meet Gatsby Benchmarks.
Through an innovative suite of CPD accredited employability skills courses for both teachers and pupils, we cover core employability topics.
This essential life skills learning content perfectly complements the curriculum and is designed to unlock the potential in each learner, readying them for life beyond school.
Fully-funded flexible learning at zero cost
For each school or college to have to create their own lesson content to meet Gatsby Benchmarks would, of course, require a large investment of time and money.
Fortunately, we’ve done all the work for you by making our content available to all pupils, regardless of socio-economic background, we make future success an achievable possibility for all.
And it’s all completely free to schools. By working in partnership with universities and employers, we are able to provide our products at zero cost to your school.
Our adherence to the Gatsby Benchmarks

Our one-page downloadable resources and CPD accredited lesson packs enable you to deliver training in the classroom which links careers to curriculum subjects.
All of our training is written by industry experts and features interviews with a wide variety of organisations and sectors. We also offer employer links to partner schools and colleges in order to help you foster stronger relationships.
