• All teachers should link curriculum learning with careers. 

• Science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) subject teachers should highlight the relevance of STEM subjects for a wide range of
  future career paths. 

• By the age of 14, every student has had the opportunity to learn how the different STEM subjects help people to gain entry to a wide range of careers. 

• All subject teachers emphasise the importance of succeeding in English and maths. 

Some ideas to engage your classes with careers are as follows: 

•  Show a short video clip as a starter activity using the resources on careersbox / icould / firstcareers or BBC bitesize careers to show the relevance of
    lessons for possible future careers 

•  Discuss careers linked to specific parts of your curriculum —use this website to help you https://nationalcareers.service.gov.uk/explore-careers 

•  Set a homework task to research different careers related to your subject. 

•  Browse and use these careers lesson inserts 

•  Use this resource booklet for inspiring ideas 

•  Utilise STEM careers resources— https://www.stem.org.uk/resources 

•  Take into account growth industries in the Liverpool City Region—https://growthplatform.org/sectors/ 

Request support from your Careers Leader or Enterprise Coordinator (julie.jones@growthplatform.org) to bring in a guest speaker to talk to students about careers or to deliver part of a lesson. Request employer support using the STEM Ambassador Programme or Inspiring the Future website.
