In this respect, pupils’ learning is meaningful and purposeful, and designed in a range of contexts, which offer breadth and variety to their learning. All teachers include links to careers in their curriculum, and are encouraged to implement the following: - have a prominent display that links subject learning and skill development to different careers - develop links with businesses and organisations - to invite alumni and other external speakers to come into school (virtually where an actual visit is not feasible) - to organise external visits by students to local businesses/organisations - record careers learning opportunities for students in schemes of learning - take part in whole school ‘Careers Days’ where all teachers start their lesson with a careers focus, such as talking about their career pathway or showing a short film where people in a range of job roles explain the relevance of skills developed in a particular subject area to their role. - explore the possibility of developing real projects/challenges for students with a local business or organisation - consider the needs and interests of all students and ensure that information challenges stereotyping including gender and disability Teachers have access to the [Career Ready website](https://careerready.org.uk/career-starter/?fbclid=IwAR2F-sZT6k4ddJXi5HWfaNF72-_16C2wODDCn7dn-lVh69vpGltVk9edzD4) in order to support their teaching of careers in their subjects. **A - Z of Career information.
