Here are just a few resources that may be of help:
- Discover! Creative Careers - will be providing teachers and career leaders with a range of videos and lesson plans to introduce students (key stages 3- 5) to careers in the creative industries. For example, those students thinking of a career in film and TV can take a guided tour of the world-renowned Pinewood Studios. Or find out what it’s like to work for Emmerdale, Framestore and BBC Sport. While students can also spend anything from 20 minutes to a whole day finding out about careers in Heritage, including libraries, museums, galleries and visual arts as well as history and art.
- Speakers for Schools – can arrange for local business people and employers to speak to schools about getting into certain careers. It also offers a range of other opportunities to schools: Their Experience Programme connects young people without access to prestigious organisations to work experience placements and insight day opportunities; while their Enterprise Adviser Network, pairs senior business volunteers with senior business volunteers with schools and colleges to build employer engagement plans.
- The Prince’s Trust – offers a range of support to young people of all ages, including a programme that helps young people get to know an industry that suits their personality, which includes free courses that will help them gain valuable experience.
