SAMEE's Partnerships

Gatsby Benchmarks
The Gatsby Benchmarks were developed on behalf of the Gatsby Foundation by Sir John Holman. They define what world class careers provision in education looks like and provide a clear framework for organising the careers provision at your school or college
At the SAMEE Charity we aim to complete 100% value of each Gatsby benchmark for all our students. Everything we do is about careers and setting the young people up for the brightest futures that suit their aspirations, goals and work with their challenges.
We provide holistic support through our programmes which aims to break down the true aspirations of the young people into manageable steps to help them reach their goal. Each step is relevant to achieving one of the 8 Gatsby benchmarks.
Higher Education Routes
Below is a list of higher education routes and training organisations which our students explore with the support from the SAMEE team. We respect that higher education is a key element of skill development within young people, however, the term higher development will look very different for everyone based on their challenges and aspirations.
