Inspiring, interactive demonstrations of all employment sectors to students
Cost effective collaboration of businesses, Schools and Colleges, local Government and HE
A process that is embedded into ongoing careers education curriculum in schools
Measurable outcomes
Felt Needs:
The ‘Ambitions’ Process: 2008-2012Involved all School Careers leads = grass roots buy-in
Targetted at all Yr 9 students, during school day
Tutorials developed for students to understand the 23 work sectors and select 5 of them to attend a workshop in
Employers given supportive training in conducting engaging sessions
Conducted on neutral territory = ownership by all
Wow effect – large venue, short hands-on activities followed by discussion with real employers
University, Schools, Colleges, LA all provide some funding or services so cost is spread evenly and not a burden
Less taxing on employers not having to attend many small events
An evening event followed on to benefit parents, older students and includes universities and relevant seminars
Tried, tested, portable – now in its 6th year; evaluated by all stakeholders
