What do you want to be when you grow up?
Supporting children’s aspirations through their education journey

Investigating the question everyone has been asked at some point throughout their childhood. Everyone remembers their dream careers when they were young, but where are we now? How did we get to the job roles we have today?

Throughout this session, we will explore ways we can support young people, regardless of what barriers are presented, and engage students to value themselves and their futures.

This session will:
-unravel the impact of a robust careers’ curriculum embedded within education strategies
-outline the benefit of providing children with the correct professional support throughout the entirety of their education
-discuss how to embed careers understanding resulting in students valuing the study they need to undertake to reach their dreams.
