One of my Year 11s inspired my latest blog for Future First by reminding me that young people are trying to see their future selves in “a job” often without any idea of what that actually might look like. It is vital, particularly for neurodivergent young people, that they are given the opportunity to see what workplaces actually look, sound and feel like. Maybe technology is the key to making this feasible for younger children to keep their ideas broad throughout Primary and Secondary school? #augmentedreality #virtualreality #workexperience

Your alumni can really get involved with this key piece of careers education." Our resident careers consultant, Vic Geary, shares how you can harness the power of your alumni to show your students what ‘a job’ looks like. 👇️ https://lnkd.in/e9ZV6xRq
