Description:
This course aims to provide learners with a look at the world of work from considering suitable career through to their first day at work in four sessions.

We think the series of sessions are best experienced together for a comprehensive offer but they can also be delivered standalone if required. Sessions will be organised at times/days to suit the schools on a first come first served basis, but capacity is unlimited so all learners are welcome at every session.

  • Session 1: All About You - This session involves identifying your own personal values, interest, skills and qualities and considering what jobs you'll be most compatible with.
  • Session 2: Applying for Work - We'll briefly discuss what a CV is then look at how we can match our skills and qualities to job adverts.
  • Session 3: The Job Interview - We'll look at how to be successful at a job interview with an interactive interview game.
  • Session 4: First Day at Work - We'll look at what the first day of work is like, what you can expect and how to make a good first impression.

Certificate:
Your learners can receive their own certificate to their Glow email for attending this course. All they need to do is complete the feedback form. The certificate will include their name and the course they attended. Teachers will also receive a copy of the certificate.

Additional Requirements:
These are designed to be interactive sessions so please try and have your learners ready to share their thoughts about their future careers and how they might enter the world of work - these will typically be shared via their teacher into the meeting chat.
