How we work with Educators
Career education is a cross-curricular learning area. It helps students engage with schooling by linking learning to work and their future.
- Integrate career education into subjects to enrich teaching and learning, support student engagement and build important skills and competencies
- All educators can incorporate career education into their curriculum, helping students develop the skills necessary to start and maintain a lifetime career
Bradford Careers Education Framework
Bradford Careers Education Framework provides a visual insight into broad sectors and potential careers and integrates career education into yourteaching and learning program.
It enables every student to prosper in a world that is constantly changing. We are committed to developing Core Careers and Sector-based routes that provide young people with meaningful employment and lifelong success through strategic collaborations, an inclusive mentality, and a dedication to aiding all young people, regardless of background.

Careers Curriculum
To make effective transitions through school, and from school to further and higher education/training and employment, children and young people require access to information and suitably qualified people to assist them in making key decisions about jobs, courses and their learning and career pathways, including access to careers advice and guidance, which is informed by current labour market trends.

Careers Education
Careers education is a core activity in schools:
- Effective career education is essential to learning and wellbeing. It supports students’ engagement and motivation, empowers them to make informed decisions, and builds their confidence about the future
- Career education is a shared responsibility, often led by career professionals in schools. Every teacher plays a part, from delivering focused career education classroom activities that relate to subject content and by showing students how their learning opens career possibilities
- By making career education a priority, school leaders and career education teams can make sure young people leave key education transition points with the skills, knowledge and direction they need for a lifetime of work and learning.
Key careers education activities:
- Careers education begins in primary education and continues through to secondary school. Starting early gives students time to gradually develop their self-awareness, understanding and goals, before making important life decisions
- A planned program of career education across four themes, include different activities across, self-awareness, exploration, preparation and progression. Interconnected activities give students critical opportunities for self-discovery and reflection, exploration of options, and informed decision-making. Activities provide an opportunity to aid early skill awareness and development, alongside building social and cultural capital partnering with local businesses and organisations
