Equalex framework for educators
The Equalex framework, defines learning outcomes and objectives and allows educators to embed meaningful workplace experiences within a progressive whole school careers programme.
This approach, designed by CEC, aligns with the recent updates to Gatsby Benchmark 6 (Experiences of the Workplace) to ensure experiences have a clear purpose, there are opportunities to meet a variety of people, perform work-relevant tasks, receive feedback on them, with time for preparation and reflection.
Equalex is an equitable, high-quality approach to work experience - helping young people gain the skills, knowledge, and behaviours they need to make informed decisions to take their best next step.
