Raising pupils’ aspirations about the world of work.

Older pupils have valuable opportunities to listen to professionals such as firefighters, marines, vets, and artificial intelligence experts talking about their occupations. This helps them to develop a strong understanding of future career options and the world of work. These experiences, including workshops with scientists and exposure to technologies such as facial recognition, inspire pupils and raise their aspirations for the future. This means that they gain a clear understanding of how education connects to their future success and motivates them to think about the steps they need to take to achieve their goals.
