We already work with some fabulous brands:

Sharon Cousins, Vice Principal, Newham College

“We had a fragmented approach to careers support across the college. This made it difficult to demonstrate progress against the Gatsby benchmarks and to amplify areas of good practice. The Careers Company team supported us in creating a holistic career strategy. They started with data, interviewing over 20 stakeholders to ensure all voices were heard. They then brought different teams across the college together to develop framework for our new strategy. Finally, they partnered with the strategy implementation team so they felt supported. We are almost 18 months on now and have a “Good” OFSTED rating under our belts. Thank you to Meena and the team.“

Britt Burnett – COO at Jaza Energy

“What does it take to be a good line manager? Claudia from the Careers Company helped our Jaza
Line Managers reflect on this and equip us with tools and tips on how to do this better. A line
manager has a long list of key responsibilities, but one of the most important one is having
meaningful 1v1s, how do you as a manager balance listening with holding your direct reports
accountable for delivery against their goals? How do you balance coaching with directing? These
were some of the things Claudia trained us on. The sessions were insightful, tailored to our company
and managers' needs, and we left with tips and tools we could immediately apply.”
