Get Ready For A Great Career Thumbnail

Get ready for a great career

In this new lesson plan, Get ready for a great career,  students gain even more inspiration and career tips from real engineers, alongside planning ideas to help them take action and get ready for their own rewarding career.​ Five case studies introduce even more engineers with interesting and unusual careers. Each one shows how engineers make real, positive differences in the world and shares a top tip for finding your own career inspiration.​ Students then work through a clear, seven-step approach to help students build their growth mindset, get involved, explore their options and grab opportunities that build their skills, experience and qualifications.
