Inspire students to explore the world of work

 

 

 

 

 

 

At Castle Donington College we would like all subject areas to do the following:

  1. have a prominent display that links subject learning and skill development to different careers
  2. develop links with businesses and organisations to invite alumni and other external speakers to come into school (virtually where an actual visit is not feasible)
  3. where appropriate to organise external visits by students to local businesses/organisations
  4. record careers learning opportunities for students in schemes of learning.
  5. 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.
  6. 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
  7. consider the needs and interests of all students and ensure that information challenges stereotyping including gender and disability
