Core features that support meaningful achievement of the eight Gatsby Benchmarks are available to all users working with learners in middle schools through to post-16 settings. 

• Access the Compass evaluation to monitor your setting’s progress against achieving the eight Gatsby Benchmarks. 
• Embed continuous improvement by recording Careers Impact internal leadership review responses, explore programme strengths, and identify priority action areas. 
• Use Your Child’s Future to understand parents’ and carers’ knowledge, confidence and awareness of careers. 
• Centralise Careers Partners in a safe, secure, and scalable database. 

For eligible settings with a compatible Management Information System (MIS), Compass+ can connect to the MIS and access learner data – activating the Future Skills Questionnaire, learner reporting, and OnTrack+. 

Colleges and ITPs are unable to connect their MIS to Compass+, although this is something that we continue to work towards.  

For setting’s with an MIS connection, additional features are available to help users inform, plan, and deliver a high-quality careers programme. 

• Deliver the Future Skills Questionnaire to measure learners’ career-readiness and meet the individual needs of all learners 
• Use OnTrack+ to help identify emerging support needs for learners in Years 7-11, strengthening sustained learner engagement and post-16 transition. 
• Add activities to Compass+ to evidence provision, track progress, and support continuous improvement. 
• Record a careers learning journey for every learner to effectively target and personalise support.
