Careers – Subject Links
Within our classrooms QMGS teachers facilitate careers related learning with pupils in a variety of different ways:
- Inviting external people and guest speakers from Industry, Subject Associations and Higher Education in to support lessons or at subject enhancement events
- Subject visits
- Setting work in real life scenarios which expand students’ familiarity with different jobs and roles.
- Promoting transferable skills such as team working and communication skills
- Speaking to students about what they want to do when they leave school
- Asking students to think about what future careers in their subject area might look like

Links to Employers and Educational Institutions

● Raising aspirations and increasing motivation – helping young people identify educational and occupational goals
● Demonstrating the relevance of the knowledge and skills learnt in subjects to future opportunities in learning and working
● Demonstrating the links between living, learning and earning
● Providing work enrichment opportunities including guest speakers and curriculum support
