For Scottish Careers Week 2024, our P7 pupils had an exciting day of career exploration at Stranraer Community College<\/strong>. The day kicked off with a fun \u2018Would You Rather?<\/em>\u2019 game, where pupils worked in teams to brainstorm different careers using a range of props. They then explored a range of job options on My World of Work, discovering everything from technical trades to creative fields, helping them get a better idea of what might suit their skills and interests. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pupils took a guided tour around the college, visiting various departments like the Hairdressing Salon, Beauty Rooms, Technical Workshops, Mechanical and Groundwork areas, Childcare Rooms, and the Kitchen & Caf\u00e9. At each stop, they learned about the practical skills and qualifications needed for these careers, getting a real feel for what it\u2019s like to work in these roles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The day wrapped up with a Shark Island<\/em> challenge, where pupils worked together to solve problems and use key meta skills<\/em> like communication,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

teamwork, and critical thinking\u2014skills that are essential for any career! The visit also tied back to the UNCRC rights, reminding pupils of their right to career information (Article 28) and education that prepares them for life (Article 29).  To top it all off, everyone received a goodie bag full of career resources, making it a fun and inspiring day for all involved! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
