These free Career in the Curriculum resources will help you achieve Gatsby Benchmark 4 by linking actual jobs at National Grid to the KS3 and KS4 Design and Technology (DT) curriculum.

These resources help students understand how the subject-specific skills and knowledge that they develop in their DT lessons will support them for future careers. We’d recommend printing these to be displayed in classrooms, presenting them at open evenings, or using them to support students when choosing their options.

We understand that Gatsby Benchmark 4 can be difficult for schools to fulfill or evidence across all subjects. These resources are designed to equip teaching staff with a better understanding of specific jobs at National Grid, and how these relate to their own teaching specialisms, to share this with students.

KS3: Students will see how the technical knowledge they develop, specifically to understand and use the properties of materials, would help them to become a Power Systems Engineer at National Grid.

KS4: Students will be taught how the technical principles they develop, especially those in energy generation, would help them to become a Lead Safety Engineer at National Grid.

Resources are also available for the following KS3 and KS4 subjects:

• Art and Design
• Computing
• English
• Geography
• History
• Maths
• Science
