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.

Our Aim is to:

• 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 by 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 e.g. a local company setting IT students the task of designing/updating their website
• consider the needs and interests of all students and ensure that information challenges stereotyping including gender and disability
