HOW CAN WE BUILD ASPIRATIONS FOR OUR CHILDREN’S FUTURE?
Young people need a sense of who they are, and excitement about what they could become.
Aspiration impacts on the effort children put in during school, the subjects they choose, and ultimately the jobs they will end up doing.
- Kashefpakdel E, Rehill J, Hughes D (2019)
WHY IS CAREER EDUCATION IMPORTANT AT A YOUNG AGE?
In primary school, careers education is about helping children develop a healthy sense of self (who am I?), giving them a chance to explore exciting possibilities (what does the world of work look like?), and helping them understand who they could become (what could I do?), so they can reach their full potential.
