Are you discussing career options with your students?
We have created a fully resourced lesson all about careers at The Parks Trust and created some careers videos to give your students and insight into some of the different job roles that exist at The Parks Trust.
We have created a series of careers cards by interviewing members of The Parks Trust team and asking them to share information on what their role involves, what they did when they left school and what skills are needed for their job. We hope these resources help to inspire your class with options for their future career paths.
In our careers videos our staff tell you about their jobs, the best and worst parts and what attracted them to working for The Parks Trust as an organisation. The videos can be used in a variety of ways; as part of form time discussion about the importance of charities, as a way of showing the variety of job roles that exist within an organisation, or to help students complete the careers lesson worksheet.
Let your students explore the different job roles within the charity to understand how different skills and passions have helped to create our diverse workforce.
