Career Opportunities lesson plan
Why do we dismiss some career opportunities? In these activities students analyse their career choices more closely.
More About the Careers Opportunities Activities
Some students may dismiss a career path due to their own skills, qualifications or perceptions. In these activities, students think about their own choices and their reasons for these before considering why and how they may want to tackle these decisions .
Lesson 1 – Missed Opportunities
As a class, the group analyse the lyrics to a song which highlights the topic. They must look at the reasons for the decisions being made and apply them to their own career choices.
Lesson 2 – Missed Opportunities
Now working individually or in pairs, students research a number of opportunities in their chosen sector to present to the rest of the class.
