Trotman - Meet the Author: Tom Corry

Tom was awarded CDI Careers Leader of the Year in 2023. With a career spanning from Teaching Assistant to Head of Department, he’s developed a deep understanding of the education landscape and the challenges faced by teachers and careers leaders alike.

Committed to instilling essential career skills and confidence in students from the earliest stages of their education, Tom focuses on bridging the gap between education and industry—bringing employers into schools, fostering aspiration, breaking stereotypes, and removing barriers to success.

In this upcoming session, Tom will explore Gatsby Benchmark 4—linking curriculum learning to careers—and share practical insights from his new book, Embedding Careers in the Curriculum. He’ll show how schools can integrate careers learning into every subject, helping teachers and careers leaders meet the benchmark, inspire students, and simplify their workload—all at the same time.
