TEACHERS

Why embed careers into your curriculum?

NEW INSPIRATION: You could be providing the single inspirational moment that changes the direction of a student’s life.

MOTIVATION: Students see that subjects are relevant to the real world and therefore why it’s important to study them.

“Young adults who recall four or more encounters with employers while at school are five times less likely to be NEET and earn on average, 18% more than peers who recall no such activities.”

Dr Anthony Mann, Director of Research and Policy, Education and Employers Taskforce.

Here are a few simple things you can do:

Create a careers corner in your classroom
Include pathways student could take at age 16 and age 18
Highlight essential skills that link to activities
Could you frame your lesson with a job role or job sector?
Display websites and events
Be personal and share your own story
Engage with parents, businesses and organisations
Invite alumni – the cherry on the cake!
