At Ashby School, we are working hard to ensure each subject area:
- Has a prominent display that links subject learning and skill development to different careers.
- Develops links with businesses and organisations to invite alumni and other external speakers to come into school (virtually where an actual visit is not feasible).
- Where appropriate to organise external visits by students to local businesses/organisations.
- Record careers learning opportunities for students in schemes of learning.
- Takes 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.
- Explores 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.
- Considers the needs and interests of all students and ensure that information challenges stereotyping including gender and disability.
