Learn more on how to integrate careers education into everyday classroom teaching, moving beyond the traditional confines of the careers office. All teachers can play a crucial role in helping students navigate their future career paths. The old model of isolated career advice is outdated, and schools are increasingly adopting a "every teacher is a teacher of careers" approach.

Three key strategies for teachers to incorporate careers education into their lessons:

• Linking subjects to careers: Make connections between curriculum topics and potential career paths. Use creative approaches, classroom displays, and industry visits to highlight these links. This can be done across all subjects, not just STEM fields.
   
• Emphasizing skills development: Focus on building transferable skills valued by employers. Utilize resources from organizations like Barclays LifeSkills and Skills Builder Partnership to incorporate skill-building activities into lessons. This approach is particularly useful for subjects where direct career links may be less obvious.
   
• Engaging with employers: Collaborate with local businesses and organizations to bring real-world context to learning. This can involve guest speakers, project partnerships, or creative curriculum connections that make learning more relevant and engaging for students.
