Quote from Dave

"Talking Jobs is an amazing resource, quite unlike any other work related resource I have come across. It gives a real insight into a wide range of careers. However it is not just about what different jobs involve. The people interviewed talk about less tangible things like what has influenced them, their family background and their quality of life. It goes beyond the simple job description and qualifications needed and gives students the sort information they could get if they actually met the individuals and knew all the right questions to ask them."


"My students really engaged with the web site. The lesson plans are excellent and provide meaningful activities for the students to do whilst still allowing them to develop independent learning skills. I am convinced that Talking Jobs will become an invaluable resource for PSHE, Careers Education and Diplomas. "

 


Quote from Dave

"As a PSHE teacher and careers co-ordinator I find it hard to fulfil the careers exploration and development part of careers education. In the past when I have had speakers in from the world of work, I have found it difficult to meet the needs of all the students. Those who have just joined a talk by default get little value from the experience, and can on occasion distract others from focussing. I also find it increasingly difficult to source a wide variety of professional and trades people to talk about their work. Either they are too busy, or they find it difficult talking to a group of students. This resource seems to solve all those problems and I welcome the chance to engage more students and broaden their horizons."
