All subject staff should link curriculum learning with careers, even on courses which are not specifically occupation-led. For example, STEM subject staff should highlight the relevance of STEM subjects for a wide range of future career paths. Study programmes should also reflect the importance of maths and English as a key expectation from employers. 

Through their programme of study (and by the end of their course) every learner should have the opportunity to experience how their subject help people gain entry to (and be more effective workers within) a wide range of occupations.

The three main ways of delivering careers in the curriculum are:

 • Providing career learning as a subject in its own right - in this approach careers content is delivered as a discrete curriculum, e.g. via tutorial programme or life skills, etc. 

• Incorporating career learning within curriculum areas - in this approach careers learning outcomes are delivered through subjects. Ideally this approach both provides career learning and enhances the subject learning e.g. by showing how a mathematical technique is used in the real world and bring employers into lessons.

 • Offering career learning through extracurriculum activities - in this approach careers content is delivered through informal and voluntary learning activities e.g. STEM initiatives, entrepreneurial activities, social action, etc
