By far the easiest way to fit Careers Week into your teaching is to show short videos of different jobs and careers – and STEM Learning have come up trumps with their collection of resources for National Careers Week. The videos are up to about 5mins, so not too long and easy enough to squeeze into your lessons. If you find any gems that link to your curriculum, remember to add them to your SoW before you forget!

To save you going down a rabbit hole and not reappearing for quite a while, I’ve listed below the videos that are available. I’ve tried to remove duplications from different sciences.
