This collection of interactive classroom challenges is designed to support meaningful careers learning across primary, secondary, SEND and home-educated settings. With activities suitable for a wide range of ages and abilities, the resources can be easily adapted to meet the needs of learners at every stage.
Whether delivered digitally or as screen-free tasks, used at home or in the classroom, these flexible, year-round resources are designed to spark curiosity and broaden horizons. Each activity helps young people explore the world of apprenticeships in an engaging and accessible way, encouraging them to consider the skills they enjoy, the pathways available to them, and the opportunities that apprenticeships can offer.
For primary-aged children in particular, these challenges provide a fun and engaging introduction to the idea that there are many different pathways available in the future. They help pupils begin to understand what apprenticeships are, what they can lead to, and the different formats they can take, planting the seeds for informed choices later on.
Simply choose an activity below and decide how best to use it with your students, as a starter, a standalone lesson, part of a careers programme, or an enrichment activity. However they are used, these challenges are designed to inspire discussion, build confidence and open young people’s eyes to future possibilities.
