Possible Gatsby Benchmark links
- BM4
Suggested alignment only. Watching this talk does not on its own meet a benchmark; use it within a planned careers activity. BM4 requires a planned subject-to-career link, not video viewing alone. BM2 needs current credible labour-market information; BM7 needs actual exploration of pathways. These are potential supporting links, not evidence of benchmark completion.
