Program Description
What does career education in the primary and lower secondary classroom look like in practice?

Career-related learning in primary and lower secondary classrooms involves:
- raising and broadening student aspirations

- supporting students to develop positive attitudes about work from an early age
- challenging stereotypes about different subjects, jobs and careers
