[Jarrow School Careers @JarrowCareersEd]

Just catching up on this weeks #CareersChatUK with @CareersChatUK; great discussions and ambitious plans to support our young people in their futures!

[Careers Chat UK @CareersChatUK]

More fantastic practical ideas on how to approach embedding careers in the curriclum - a spotlight for each subject spread across the academic year #careerschatuk

[Simon Wareham @slwareham]

@CareersChatUK Subject-based Careers Weeks are also a good way of embedding careers into curriculum. Each subject has a scheduled #careers week - with an annual focus. This year our focus in essential employability skills. How can a particular skill be developed in each subject? #careerschatuk

[Careers Chat UK @CareersChatUK]

@Craig_Turton @FionaJFletcher 100%, needs to be part of the fabric of the school and a key part of the vision! It all STARTS with the curriculum (in my opinion) #careerschatuk

[Careers Chat UK @CareersChatUK]

Q5 - Quick last one, what are you going to do over the next term and a half to further embed careers in the curriclum? #careerschatuk

[Careers Chat UK @CareersChatUK]

@slwareham @GatsbyEd Absoslutely amazing and well done for utlising the time to work on the ever-important admin to set the foundation for success when we can all meet in person again! #careerschatuk

[Careers Chat UK @CareersChatUK]

Q4 - from a longer-term strategic perspective, what is your long term goal (3-5 years) for careers in the curriculum and how do you think you could make this happen? #CareersChatUK @GatsbyEd #Benchmark4

[Careers Chat UK @CareersChatUK]

Thank you for joining this evening's #CareersChatUK about careers in the curriculum!

As a prev. English teacher, the desire to contextualise the curriclum & help pupils see how it linked to their future is what steered me into careers edu so I feel passionate about this one!

[Careers Chat UK @CareersChatUK]

@slwareham Absolutely! These would be great things for staff who've done it successfully to share with others!

[Careers Chat UK @CareersChatUK]

Q3 - We've identified some of the issues, how can a school empower teaching staff to embed careers in the curriculum?

All ideas welcome! Maybe you've had success w/ an approach, perhaps it's a thought that just occured or a great resource - pls share #CareersChatUK

[Careers Chat UK @CareersChatUK]

Using employer links to drive embedding careers in the curriculum - innovation! #careerschatuk

[Simon Wareham @slwareham]

@CareersChatUK @GatsbyEd Q4 - one of our ongoing and long-term aims is that each subject is linked to an actual employer to carry out collaborative projects to really link learning to the real world- really connecting school and real world together #careerschatuk

[Careers Chat UK @CareersChatUK]

@Craig_Turton @GatsbyEd @FionaJFletcher So true, it has to filter down from leadership and have buy-in from each member of staff and careers champions can really help make this a reality #careerschatuk

[Careers Chat UK @CareersChatUK]

@slwareham @GatsbyEd This is so cool! I'm sure that seeing employers invest in the school is very impactful for staff and pupils. How did you successfully seek out employers willing to do this? #careerschatuk

[Careers Chat UK @CareersChatUK]

@slwareham @GatsbyEd Love this! How do you see it working? #careerschatuk

[Careers Chat UK @CareersChatUK]

Fantastic long term vision of utlising employer links to support curriculm-based careers education #careerschatuk

[Simon Wareham @slwareham]

@CareersChatUK @GatsbyEd Q4 - one of our ongoing and long-term aims is that each subject is linked to an actual employer to carry out collaborative projects to really link learning to the real world- really connecting school and real world together #careerschatuk

[Careers Chat UK @CareersChatUK]

@TimDowey Would you have any examples to share? #careerschatuk

[Careers Chat UK @CareersChatUK]

Fantastic, it's one thing to get teachers to understand it but the top priority is that pupils understand how their subjects relate to their futures #careerschatuk

[Mr Murray @MrMurray_Towers]

@CareersChatUK We are now looking at making the links explicit in the teacher resources in the lessons and also so that we can talk to students about all the careers they learn about over a term, year and so on #CareersChatUK

[Careers Chat UK @CareersChatUK]

@TimDowey Great idea! brings it into focus #careerschatuk

[Careers Chat UK @CareersChatUK]

Long-term vision for embedding careers in the curriculum where careers champions take responsibility for their subject areas and regularly share good practice ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #CareersChatUK

[Craig Turton - QTLS @Craig_Turton]

@CareersChatUK So my vision is each dept has a teacher that put themselves forward as a careers champion for their key stage. They are the link person for students and me to go to for that subject area. Each half term we would meet to share good practice. #CareersChatUk @FionaJFletcher

[Careers Chat UK @CareersChatUK]

Excellent resource for @GatsbyEd Benchmark 4, embedding careers in the curriculum from @CareerEnt #careerschatuk
