The Learn with US programme supports schools and colleges to achieve the Gatsby benchmarks.
Whilst all of our activity satisfies benchmark number 7, ‘Encounters with further and higher education’, we are also able to contribute towards achieving additional benchmarks thanks to our diverse offering.
For example, our residentials and summer schools can contribute to benchmark 5, ‘Encounters with Employers and Employees’, due to our use of alumni and practicing professionals to support activity.
You can identify which benchmarks our activities support by using the following key throughout our webpages:
