The programme will bring learning alive
A new primary school careers programme is aiming to encourage more than 15,000 primary school pupils in Devon, Plymouth and Torbay to dream big about their future careers.
The Devon, Plymouth and Torbay Careers Hub is part of Start Small Dream Big – a new £2.6 million nationwide programme designed to help children from disadvantaged backgrounds to think about careers and gain an understanding of the type of jobs available.
The scheme, which will run through to 2025, is backed by investment from the Department for Education and is being rolled out by The Careers & Enterprise Company (CEC).
Devon and Torbay are among four non-Education Investment Areas (EIAs) invited to take part in the latest round of the project, starting next month (March), although Plymouth Primary schools are already involved.
The programme will bring learning alive by linking lessons to careers. It will also provide opportunities for pupils to meet inspiring employers so they can explore different jobs and understand the skills they’ll need for the future.
