Get your students thinking about the employability skills they have or could learn through a volunteering trip. Our poster covers the themes many interviewers will ask when your students apply for college, university, an apprenticeship, or a job; as well as evidencing your establishments commitment to the Gatsby Benchmark expectations. From developing teamwork skills to increasing the resilience that employers are so keen to see in young people, our volunteering trips to our partner schools in Ghana, Kenya or Zanzibar target many areas that are relevant to the Gatsby Benchmarks and can be used in collaboration with the Compass Report to help you evaluate your careers activity, discover your strengths and find areas for improvement when it comes to your careers offer in your school.

Bring Africa into your classroom… Working alongside schools, we understand how important our trips can be to develop young people and provide opportunities to enhance their cultural capital. To make things easier for you, we have produced a Department Improvement Plan to help you identify key areas of improvement for your department and how the African Adventures programme can help to target those required actions. As an ex-Head of Department, Gill, our School Partnership Co-ordinator, put together this plan from her previous experience, outlining how working with African Adventures can fit into your current and future department improvement plan. This plan outlines how we intend to help schools develop, the implementation required for these actions and the impact these actions can have on your students.
