Primary WorkOut! helps 9-11 year olds develop knowledge of the world of work and employability skills by introducing them to a range of local employers in 1.5 to 2 hourly classroom carousel sessions.
After a 10-minute briefing assembly you will be taken to a classroom. Each class group spends approximately 15-20 minutes with you and then the classes will move round. You will see 3 or 4 classes depending on the size of the school.
Once you are in your assigned classroom the procedure is as follows:-
Students will ask you questions about your job and career journey one by one. Please also take a minute or two to talk about a typical day and what your job generally involves (tasks, team, clothing/equipment etc.).
We would encourage you to bring in items/props/photos/any branded/company logo items from your workplace which you can show the students. Previous items that guests have brought in have been marketing literature, project plans/computer printouts/spreadsheets, a policeman’s helmet, clothing, headsets, dancing shoes etc. Any promotional items with your company logo on are always good to show.
Once a rotation with a class is complete, you will see another class for approx 15-20 minutes which is then repeated.
Please arrive to the School Reception 10 minutes before the stated start time.
Where do I go? Please report to the School Reception at 10.00am. Car parking and mobility spaces are available in the main School car park. If this is full, then please park on the main road of the School or the Talbot Car Park which is a pay by phone car park which is located next door to the School.
Who is the School contact? The main School contact for this initiative is Rebekah Green.
