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