It doesn\u2019t cease when implementation begins. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Further planning will be needed when the learning events and challenges are being organised and this is likely to generate more ideas and strategies which should feed back into your plan or educational framework. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This continuous approach helps ensure a dynamic element to the programme, propelling things forward and generating momentum.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Careful consideration of desired outcomes<\/strong>\u202f<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It is important to have a vision. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Having a clear understanding of anticipated aims, achievements and benefits of the programme helps shape your planning, preparation and decision-making. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Underpinning all these features is the principle of creating and sustaining high standards, expectations and quality for all participants.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Anticipation of possible risks and consequences<\/strong>\u202f<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>No planning or preparation can completely eliminate risks, obstacles or unintended consequences. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Risk assessment should be embedded in the planning and preparation at each stage of the programme.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Delivery by trained and skilled professionals<\/strong>\u202f<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Personnel involved in delivery of the programme need to be appropriately briefed and trained. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, young industry professionals may be unfamiliar with the types of language and methods needed to engage young people in a classroom context and input from educational practitioners (e.g. teachers, consultants) acting as a \u2018critical friend\u2019 can help alleviate any potential issues or anxieties. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Equally, industry professionals need to share their knowledge and expertise so that learning activities (challenges) accurately reflect the realities of work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, Industry Insight days could be offered to teachers\/practitioners to support their familiarisation with the industry context. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is where knowledge exchange is crucial. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Scotland, engagement with schools and early learning centres also requires all interventions to be closely aligned with the curriculum<sup>3<\/sup> experiences and outcomes<sup>4<\/sup> and benchmarks for assessment<sup>5<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Effective co-ordination<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall co-ordination of the education programme can be managed (e.g.) by one individual or group. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, this could be a management group responsible for strategic planning and goal setting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Measures for facilitating a two-way information flow between delivery team members and the individual\/management group is essential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Quality assurance \u2013 feedback and evaluation<\/strong>\u202f<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To ensure high standards, there needs to be reliable quality assurance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The programme should be monitored, feedback collated, and evaluation carried out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both quantitative and qualitative data should be collected, as each method provides insight into the programme\u2019s success. Delivery staff should have frequent opportunities to reflect on and review the events and challenges to make improvements to current practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This instils feelings of joint ownership and engenders a co-operative outlook. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The end of each phase of the programme should prompt an evaluation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Embedding quality assurance ensures the merit of the programme and can contribute to its dynamic and evolving nature.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Implementing the programme<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Implementation assumes prior planning and preparation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Learning events\/challenges need to be designed, venues agreed and timings arranged. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You should consider what the priorities are for initial implementation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Is the aim to reach a wide audience? To target a specific group of people? To tackle a particular task? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thinking about these questions helps you organise.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Implementation raises practical issues about programme content, timing, venues and resources:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>How quickly can the first learning events be set up?&nbsp;<\/li><li>Which venues are most easily and quickly accessed?&nbsp;<\/li><li>How much time is needed to get approval?&nbsp;<\/li><li>How quickly can funds be authorised?&nbsp;<\/li><li>Who are the most appropriate personnel to deliver the learning events?&nbsp;<\/li><li>Are materials for the events immediately available or do they have to created?&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Some factors affecting decision-making will be beyond your control \u2013 for example, the imminent start of the school term, or an unrelated event taking place at the same venue which could provide a platform for your programme.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The initial run-through of a learning event should be treated as a pilot, with opportunities to reflect, review and, if necessary, introduce improvements.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the programme rolls out, implementation can require new venues, different audiences, fresh challenges and materials.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Sustaining a dynamic and evolving programme<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>An effective education programme has to retain the commitment of all participants for its duration. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For this reason, it needs to be appropriately ambitious, involving a willingness to experiment and test boundaries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This may seem counterintuitive to the pursuit of success but as any scientist will explain, even less successful experiences provide insights that can be used for improvement.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This approach contributes to what is termed a \u2018growth mindset\u2019<sup>6<\/sup> \u2013 a belief that most things are possible with perseverance, learning and effort. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is an approach to which young people seem very responsive and which should form part of any education programme. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is also an approach that motivates and encourages people to engage actively, thereby enhancing their wellbeing and building resilience \u2013 the ability to \u2018bounce back\u2019 after disappointment.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Characteristics like this have been referred to positively as \u2018meta-skills\u2019 \u2013 qualities of \u201cself-management, social\/emotional intelligence and innovation skills\u201d<sup>7<\/sup>.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Career Education Standard 3-18 (CES 3-18)<sup>8<\/sup> makes these characteristics explicit through its \u2018I Can\u2019 Statements, which provide educators with a checklist against which links between the curriculum and the world of work can be measured. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The document covers the five curricular stages \u2013 Early Level to Senior Phase \u2013 reinforcing the benefits for pupils of clarifying the relationships between school subjects and career pathways. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In support of progression planning, the CES 3-18 also describes the entitlement for learners and expectations on teachers, employers, Skills Development Scotland and parents. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this context, education programmes based on work-relevant experiential learning become increasingly relevant.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">References<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>1 &#8211;
