Teachers Information
Teacher support is critical to student careers because teachers motivate students, help them develop essential critical thinking skills, provide crucial guidance and support through challenging times, and connect classroom learning with real-world career opportunities.
By fostering confidence and a growth mindset, teachers empower students to pursue their goals and make informed decisions about their future paths.
Connecting jobs and careers with how subjects are taught in our schools and colleges brings innovation into the classroom and provides inspiration for students. Showing young people the relevance of what they are learning in lessons to its practical application in life and work beyond the school gates improves both interest and motivation.
It also helps young people explore the variety of industries, diversity of roles and different pathways into work that are now available to them.
