🌟 Providing Early Careers Education for All Primary School Children 🌟 I recently came across an article from Northumbria University's Newsroom discussing that all primary school children should receive early career education. Equipping our children with the skills, knowledge, and mindset needed to navigate their future careers is paramount. It's about preparing them for the job market, nurturing their passions, igniting curiosity, challenging and preventing gender stereotypes, and building a foundation for lifelong learning. Early exposure to career education can play a pivotal role in achieving these goals. The role of educators and parents is a crucial aspect. Collaborative efforts between schools and families ensure children receive a well-rounded early career education. We can bridge the gap between classroom learning and real-world applications, creating a more holistic learning experience. Implementing early career education for all primary school children is a forward-thinking approach that will have far-reaching positive effects on society. It's an investment in our children's future, a commitment to their growth and success, and a step towards building a workforce that is innovative, adaptable, and prepared to tackle the challenges of the future.

Wise words from my 13 year old! The spotlight was firmly on UK A level results yesterday, and with my mum hat on, I was celebrating the achievement of my eldest and her acceptance to university. However, with my DEI hat on, I'm acutely aware of the focus on grades, without any way to measure 'tenacity' or privilege that provides the environment for academic attainment. For sure my daughter worked consistently hard. She also had:  - a stable and nuturing family to come home to - no periods of absence - no physical or mental health struggles - no 'adult' responsibilities  - a school that ensured the curriculum was covered, that didn't face disruption, disjointed supply teaching, or classroom distractions - a positive circle of friends who encouraged each other. Wouldn't it be enlightening to have a 'tenacity factor' which was a multiplier to the raw exam results, as a measure of true achievement. Have this in mind as you recruit, shortlist, or otherwise decide who to back, as it is truly those who have shown tenacity, who will go furthest in life, if given an opportunity with an apprenticeship, angel funding, work experience, mentoring or otherwise a door opened. You'll find it is those people with greatest tenacity who will be strongest by your side as you ride the scale up rollercoaster! #RewardEffort #Attitude #SchoolLeavers #Inclusion #Privilege

Schools back in session and it’s the end of summer. There’s really no better time to reflect. That’s what I did Friday with 400 of my closest friends 😊 I’m teaching a short course called Personal Development that helps our BBAs build resilience and be more grounded. On average they’ll have 12 jobs post graduation with an average tenure of 3 years per job…it’s a looong career. Here are the questions every student journaled: 1. Highlights of the month 2. Three Lessons from the month 3. Three Priorities to bring into the next month Rinse and repeat until eternity. Imagine getting into this practice at a young age and maintaining it for decades. How much better would you know yourself? How much more present would you be? I started this practice in January and have closed 8 months with this reflection. And it’s honestly been a game changer in keeping my focus. Let me know if you try it! #emoryuniversity #reflection #career
