Linking curriculum learning to careers

As a part of the school’s programme of careers education, all teachers should link curriculum learning with careers. Subject teachers should highlight the progression routes for their subject and the relevance of the knowledge and skills developed in their subject for a wide range of career pathways.

Schools

Every year, in every subject, every pupil should have opportunities to learn how the knowledge and skills developed in that subject helps people to gain entry to, and be more effective workers within, a wide range of careers.

Careers should form part of the school’s ongoing staff development programme for teachers and all staff who support pupils.

Colleges

Throughout their programme of study (and by the end of their course) every learner should have opportunities to experience how knowledge and skills developed in their subjects help people gain entry to, and be more effective workers within, a wide range of occupations.

Careers should form part of the provider’s ongoing staff development programme for subject staff and all staff who support learners.
