Careers Strategy and a Careers Policy
In 2020 the government told all schools and colleges that they must provide an excellent careers education for all students. At Derwen College, we have a Careers Strategy and a Careers Policy in place to make sure we are achieving this. We want all our students to have access to an excellent careers education. We do this by using the Gatsby benchmarks and the Matrix Standards review.
