Webinar: How to make the most of your alumni network to meet Gatsby Benchmarks

The updated Gatsby Benchmarks were published in November 2024 and for the first time, they include a criterion to use your alumni and role models to support your careers programme. 

By engaging with your former students, you can make a significant impact not only on your careers provision but also on your current students who will be inspired and motivated by meeting ‘someone like me’.

Whether you are working with recent leavers – ‘near peers’, or those that have progressed in their careers, you have access to a wealth of expertise, access to industry and powerful mentors.

In this webinar, we'll explore how you can make the most of your alumni network to meet the Gatsby benchmarks. 

Social mobility charity Future First is the only UK charity whose mission it is to help state schools and colleges build a supportive and active community of alumni volunteers and local employers. We help to provide students with relatable role models who offer experiences of the world of work and unlock access to previously gate kept sectors so that all young people can see someone like them thrive and succeed.
