GATSBY EDUCATION PROJECT MANAGER CANDIDATE PACK OVERVIEW In 1967 David Sainsbury wrote out a cheque for five pounds to establish the Gatsby Charitable Foundation. Lord Sainsbury has since given Gatsby more than £1 billion to distribute to charitable causes in fields he is passionate about, including neuroscience, plant science, development in East Africa and public policy. More information can be found at www.gatsby.org.uk. Gatsby established a small team focused on education policy in England almost 40 years ago. The team’s priorities have typically mirrored and sought to address the policy challenges of the times, from addressing the uptake of engineering degrees in the 1980s, to our commitment to the improvement of the nation’s technical education and career guidance systems today. While priorities have changed and evolved, our approach has been consistent: we aim to be more than a funder. We act as an enabler for projects, working with partners in designing, developing, and, in some cases, delivering activities. We take a long-term view as we do not think much can be achieved by short, one-off projects. GATSBY’S WORK IN EDUCATION We believe that a strong technical education system can open up good career opportunities for young people and adults, as well as drive greater national productivity and economic competitiveness. That is why our current work is focused on supporting the implementation of technical education reforms and the embedding of a stable career guidance system in England. OUR PROGRAMMES INCLUDE: Technical Education Reform In 2015 David Sainsbury was asked by government to chair a panel of experts to review the provision of technical education. The result was the Sainsbury Report, which set out an ambitious vision for reform, and its recommendations continue to underpin the government’s strategy for technical education and skills in England. The successful implementation of these recommendations is a priority for our team, and we work closely with partners on a number of projects including: • Supporting the successful rollout of T-levels through work to support curriculum development and industry placements with providers and employers • The development of accredited Higher Technical Qualifications (at levels 4 and 5) so that this progression option for T-level students (and for those already in the workforce who wish to upskill and retrain) meets the high- quality standard demanded by industry • The rollout of Institutes of Technology (IoTs). We are supporting the National Network of Institutes of Technology to ensure that they (collaborations between FE colleges, universities, and employers) are recognised as ideal modes of delivery for higher technical education (particularly in science, engineering and technology) • Researching barriers to the delivery of quality apprenticeships, such as the standard of the training an apprentice receives ‘on-the-job’ and ‘off-the-job’ • The delivery of technical education. We are currently piloting several projects to understand what good looks like in areas such as teacher training and retention Good Career Guidance Since we first devised the Gatsby Benchmarks for Good Career Guidance in 2014, they have been written into government statutory guidance for all schools and colleges in England. Our work in this area focuses on ensuring stability in the system by identifying and seeking to address outstanding challenges to achieving our goal of each and every young person receiving good career guidance. Raising the profile of technicians Technicians: We Make the Difference is a campaign researched, developed and launched by Gatsby, stemming from our belief that a strong technical education system can open up good career opportunities for young people and adults, as well as driving economic performance. We have also partnered with the Science Museum to create Technicians: The David Sainsbury Gallery, a free, permanent, interactive gallery to showcase the wide variety of technician careers available for young people. The above is not an exhaustive list of our current projects. For more detail on our work, visit: www.gatsby.org.uk/education.
