Curriculum
As part of our PSHRE Curriculum we work with students to develop key employability skills and work towards identifying their career goals.
All teachers include careers in their lessons, to develop student’s employability skills and understanding of how what they are learning is used in the workplace.
Staff have access to a wide range of resources on the school Intranet to showcase careers in their subject lessons and, where possible, link career-related learning and employability skills within department events, trips and visits.
Teachers are encouraged to implement the below into the curriculum:
- Have a prominent display that links subject learning and skill development to different careers
- Develop links with businesses and organisations
- Invite alumni and other external speakers to come into school (virtually where an actual visit is not feasible)
- Where appropriate to organise external visits for students to local businesses/organisations
- Record careers learning opportunities for students in schemes of learning
- Take part in whole school ‘Careers Days’ where all teachers start their lesson with a careers focus, such as talking about their career pathway or showing a short film where people in a range of job roles explain the relevance of skills developed in a particular subject area to their role.
- Explore the possibility of developing real projects/challenges for students with a local business or organisation
- Consider the needs and interests of all students and ensure that information challenges career stereotyping including gender, race and disability
