"The process of gaining this award has been a pleasure as it has provided a solid structure and framework within
which to work and provided clear objectives and outcomes. It has enhanced our programme immensely and I would
recommend it to any school as a way of raising the profile of CEIAG within schools.
We feel very proud to have taken part and hopefully gaining the award."
- Hilary Dorling, Head of Careers, WRL & PSHEE, Kemnal Technology College, Bromley
What is it?
- A kite mark for quality in careers education, information, advice and guidance (CEIAG)
- The most widely used standard of its type in England
The Investor in Careers Award was developed by Cornwall and Devon Careers in 1994. It is a quality standard for the
management of careers education, information, advice and guidance (CEIAG) in schools and FE colleges and is now widely used across the
country involving hundreds of schools and FE colleges as well as special schools and special FE colleges.
The use of independent external assessors/panel helps give the award credence.
Assessment is based on standards required by legislation or nationally produced guidelines on good practice, so
schools/colleges are not being asked to do anything that is not already established as being of value to their students. The Award
has been written and revised by careers education and guidance professionals, teachers and senior managers in schools.
Following an external evaluation by the University of Derby and feedback from schools, colleges
and training providers throughout England the award has been developed into 3 'bite-sized'
stages, each carrying certification. This makes it accessible to many organisations.
