Activity 1 - Key Skills and Skills Profiles
This lesson looks at real life jobs with the help of case studies to help students focus on choosing a career in a specific job. It also discusses where to find out more information about job roles and career options.
Activity 2 - Researching Careers in Sport and Leisure
Working in small groups, students watch a video and then create a voiceover and storyline for the clips with a view to each clip being an advertisement for that particular job.
