At Williamston Primary, we’ve been working with pupils in Primary 4–7 to develop their skills in profiling and self-reflection using My World of Work.
Why Profiling Matters
Profiling encourages pupils to take ownership of their learning journey. By recording achievements and setting achievable goals, they can begin to see the connection between effort, progress, and success. It’s a powerful tool for developing skills for learning, life, and work.
What is My World of Work?
My World of Work has been designed by Skills Development Scotland, to help learners understand their strengths, set meaningful goals, and celebrate achievements in a way that builds confidence and prepares them for future learning. On the platform, learners can:
- Explore their interests and skills
- Understand different careers and pathways
- Build a personal profile that grows with them through school and beyond
It supports pupils to develop self-awareness and ownership of learning.
My World of Work in action
Pupils are becoming more confident in talking about their learning and proud of their progress. Teachers have noticed richer conversations during learning reviews, and parents appreciate seeing detailed profiles that showcase effort and growth.
If you’d like more information about using My World of Work with your learners, or if you’ve used it and would like to share your successes, please get in touch with the Digital Learning Team.
