Starting a Career and Life Choices Programme in your school

Some simple facts to remember:

• A Career and Life Choices programme does not have to be a separate course - it can be integrated into Language studies, Geography, Group Counselling, Mathematics, Science, Economics, Personal and Social Development, and can be taught "across the curriculum" by all teachers.

• There are many resources available to you that will help you strengthen your school's network: parents, local business men and women, your students themselves will all bring a rich experience to Career and Life Choices studies.

• Materials do not have to be expensive: there are internet resources that are free and nearly free, newspapers and other local publications, you existing textbooks and workbooks can be adapted to the programme.

• The time taken for Career and Life Choices programme is not "stolen from exam preparation time": it augments healthy preparation for all life challenges by enhancing student motivation. Personal goals are important for everyone.

There are many tools out there that can help you design and teach the most appropriate syllabus for your students.
