Teachers should aim to:

Frequently:

• Identify why students are learning subject material and make it relevant to pupils by relating content to career possibilities and employment pathways

• Relating careers to LMI and future employment prospects, especially in STEAM subjects

• Utilise videos or media to explore specific careers related to subject content (see i-could.com) 

• Use  CAREEROMETER to research jobs in lessons - quick and effective

• Relate lesson content to your subjects web pages on this site. Base a homework or activity around the information! 

• Relate activities to key employability skills in lessons where possible 

• Provide the opportunity for students to explore and develop interests in careers through subject based activities

• Ensure students are aware of their subjects careers webpage on the Hastings website

• Capitalise upon relevant news items to showcase careers related to subject material being covered in class

• Provide a careers based homework task, such as researching a famous person including their education, interests or past jobs they have had

• Research careers your subject could lead to

• Update your subject careers provision documentation Subject careers provision records

• Get a guest speaker to come in from a local university/business/college/contact. Or even do a virtual live event as part of a lesson!

• Invite an ex-pupil in to talk about their career journey or study pathway to inspire your learners!
