Career Assemblies

These 10-minute assemblies are pre-recorded and ready to just click and play. They are designed to introduce students to the World of Work and are a great opportunity to inform and inspire students whilst encouraging them to think about their future. There are 2 to select from; Lower or Upper Secondary. Next steps: after watching the assembly, we would encourage students to apply their learning and ideas to the Careers worksheet.

Careers With Purpose Podcast

This series of 20-minute podcasts will show what careers with purpose look like and how students can pursue them. Students can hear from our Corporate Partners working in various roles, including colleagues from Nestlé, Wesleyan, Linklaters, Siemens and BNP Paribas. These could be used to prompt student thinking, before moving on to the career lesson plan.

Worksheets

These worksheets have been developed in partnership with industry experts and career leads to help students broaden their career horizons. They include useful links for students to use as part of their career journey. These links are best displayed on a Smartboard or on student devices if available. We recommend students go through the Careers Assembly, before completing the Careers worksheet.
