CEG notes
It is not intended that every subject contributes to CEG learning or uses careers related experiences to enrich their own subject. However an effective example will be needed. These must be natural and be of benefit to both the 'subject' and the learning outcomes for CEG Links to key skills would also help.
 

 

WRE notes
It is not intended that every subject contributes to WRE learning or uses EBL to enrich their own subject. However at least comprehensive 2 examples will be needed. These must be natural and be of benefit to both the 'subject' and the learning outcomes for WRE. Links to key skills would also help.
 

 
   Good practice guide

Work-related activities and careers education topics provide a fantastic medium for learning in a wide variety of subjects and courses. Obvious examples include Business Studies where students need to look at local businesses and Geography students investigating the local economy. This must help teachers/lecturers to deliver the actual subject/course syllabus rather than be seen as an 'add-on'.

Some ways of encouraging use of work related activities across the curriculum include:

  • Meeting with departments or faculties to look at their syllabi and areas where work related activities could be useful
  • Following up on the findings from the audit
  • Arrange teacher placements for interested staff
  • Encourage departments to work with the Science, Engineering and Technology (SET) co-ordinators in Careers Wales. This programme brings business into subjects and courses through practical projects, visits and links
  • Provide curriculum materials for WRE/CEG that link to subjects/courses
  • Ensure staff awareness of CEG/WRE events so they can maximise opportunities to get involved
  • Subject/course based assignments should be carried out during work experience
  • Utilise staff expertise in planning CEG/WRE activities e.g. involve a Drama specialist in organising mock interview sessions
  • In Colleges, organise faculty based workshops with employers linked to specific courses e.g. beauty and hairdressing sessions
