CAREERS ADVICE - Teachers

Introduction:  

Effective careers education and guidance helps inspire students and enables them to make informed decisions about their future. It provides them with the information to understand enough about the world of work to know what skills they need to succeed. Research shows that effective careers education leads to improved behaviour, motivation and performance in lessons.

Benchmark 4: Linking Curriculum Learning to Careers  

 We all play a vital role in inspiring students to raise their aspirations and to consider careers they hadn’t thought of. Benchmark 4 states:  

“All teachers should link curriculum learning with careers. STEM subject teachers should highlight the relevance of STEM subjects for a wide range of future career paths”
