Career-related learning has a positive impact on children’s confidence, aspirations and motivation by helping students understand the world of work. Career experiences and learning in the primary school should be fun, encouraging students to be inquisitive and exploratory. Early career-related learning provides a strong foundation on which children will make career decisions as they reach the end of their secondary school education, so discovering the world of work through age appropriate play and exploration is key to children making informed career decisions in the future. Challenging gender stereotypes about careers in childhood is crucial in achieving greater gender equality in the workforce. Parents and guardians have an important role in this, as do schools.
