Careers: Teachers
Your contribution to Careers Education Information and Guidance is paramount to the success of the careers provision at LPW School. The world of work is changing at an increasingly fast rate and with this comes a greater demand on all of us to support young people in making a successful transition from education to employment.
Making students aware of the careers opportunities in your subject area can help students identify and choose career opportunities that support decision making and choose what is right for them.
As teachers we can support our students by:
-
Raising students’ aspirations and increasing motivation
-
Helping students understand the transferrable knowledge and skills in each subject area
-
Encouraging progression to the next level of education or employment
-
Making students aware of your career path and journey
-
Incorporating career learning within your subject. Demonstrate how your subject is used in the real world, bring employers into the classroom.
-
Organising career learning through extra-curricular activities and trips.
