RSA Academies are partnering with a pioneering new careers inspiration programme for all UK schools and colleges called The WOW (World of Work)Show.

The project is backed by City & Guilds, The Edge Foundation and the B&CE Charitable Trust and is supported by national and local employers.

Designed to appeal to all year groups and be watched as a shared group experience. It's a fast-paced magazine show streamed live directly to the classroom that will present fascinating fresh perspectives on a variety of major employment sectors. It is very different from traditional approaches because it is being produced by leading film-makers and journalists from the UK Creative Industries. They have been given access to some of the most important industries and career opportunities for young people in the future. It will speak to the student audience in their language, on their platforms and in the bite-size visual grammar of YouTube. This is careers inspiration for Generation Z.

To accompany The WOW Show broadcasts, RSA Academies have developed special lesson plans and PowerPoint slides that are freely available to all teachers. These are a PSHE Previewlesson for use before viewing the show that encourages students to think about the wide range of careers opportunities that exist and how their own interests, ambitions and qualities can help them access these. After seeing the show, a series of individual subject lesson plans are then available that directly link curriculum learning to careers. Covering science, maths and geography, these are designed for use by subject teachers to help show how aspects of their subject is relevant to the world of work, including in unexpected ways.

Another Way is a youth led charity with the mission to empower people to act with kindness towards the planet. Another Way: Empowering people to be kind to our planet

Our Power of 10 project works with young people (11-18) to engage them with climate action and learn about environmental issues whilst also giving tangible actions for them to take in their lives. There is a safeguarded online space for young changemakers to meet like-minded people, share ideas and find support. They also have access to over 70 resources to support their climate action journey. There is also a teacher space which offers a space for educators to share ideas and download resources.

As part of the Power of 10 project, we offer in person workshops on green careers as well as waste, food, wildlife and biodiversity, oceans, and climate campaigning. These workshops can be tailored to age, ability and length of time available. Workshops are fully funded for state schools.

Green Careers are our newest workshops and last academic year they became our most popular, with all of them showing significant increase in knowledge and understanding of the term 'green career' and what careers are on offer in this sector. We have two types of workshop available, the first is all about what a green career is, why they are important and how a young person might get one (with lots of different interactive elements available). The second is more of a dragons den style approach, where we discuss how green businesses can help solve some of the current environmental problems, and how this is linked into the green careers sector. Students work in groups to develop a business plan and present their ideas as part of the work shop.

If you have any questions at all, please contact Elli, Youth Engagement Lead at elli@another-way.org. uk

We're excited to announce that Discover! Creative Careers Week 2025 will be expanded to a month-long programme this November, giving industry and schools greater opportunities to forge connections and offer more 11-18 year olds vital encounters with creative industry careers.
Discover! Creative Careers Month is industry's opportunity to inspire the future workforce by showcasing their company, team, roles and sector pathways. This year, we want to see as many creative industry employers as possible provide invaluable in-person experiences, either at the workplace or in school. If that's not possible there are still several ways to get involved, find out more.

The month-long event will remain free for schools and young people to access, with registration for both schools and industry open now. The programme will once again collaborate with Speakers for Schools on a series of virtual events.

The announcement comes as part of a major programme-wide expansion for 2025 - 2026 following increased investment from the Department for Culture, Media and Sport, which will see pilot projects across two other nations*, a new work experience scheme delivered by Mission Accomplished, continued year-round resources and events plus more to come.

Discover! Creative Careers is currently delivered by ScreenSkills, in collaboration with over 25 industry representatives, trade bodies and careers specialists.

Discover! Creative Careers Programme Lead Mary Rose said "Our mission is to ensure that every young person has access to the information, advice and guidance they need to consider a career in the creative industries. Our goal is to remove barriers to access and reach those young people who are often overlooked. By doing so, we hope to inspire and encourage talented young people from different backgrounds, bringing a range of experiences and perspectives. We are looking to bring in even more industry employers to provide encounters during 2025 and join our programme and partner events."
Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy said: *Please note, tenders for organisations based in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland to develop and deliver the planned expansion programmes will open by mid May. The 2025 - 2026 government-funded programme will support expansion to two nations, with an ambition for a UK-wide programme in the future. "With a huge range of exciting and fulfilling careers in our world-leading creative industries now on offer, it is so important that all young people - regardless of background - have the skills, tools and opportunities to pursue this if they wish. "The expansion of the Discover! Creative Careers Programme will ensure that thousands of young people across the UK have the opportunity to be inspired as they start to think about life beyond their core education."

It can be a bit worrying choosing GCSE and A Level subjects, let alone further education choices, especially when you don't know what job you want yet . It doesn't have to be.

There are thousands of interesting opportunities and organisations all around the world. They may need someone just like you to come and work for them in a few years' time. It's just a matter of finding out what's out there, what interests you, what you would be suited to and what skills you will need.

That's where First Careers comes in.

Careers inspiration

While you've been busy at school, we've been busy checking out hundreds of organisations to discover the most interesting jobs. From a video game sound designer, to a food and drink manager on a cruise ship, to a football photographer, we've met real people with real jobs, so you can see for yourself what they do each day.

Careers advice with a difference

Our honest job profiles give a taste of what it would be like to land your dream job, plus many of our interviews are carried out by young people, so you get the lowdown on the things that matter most to you (like, whether maths is really important, after all).

PARENTS!

If you're not sure how to start a conversation about careers, or how to advise your children on possible careers they may be suited to, why not sit down as a family to watch a few short films, or read some of our day-in-the-life job profiles, then use them to talk about possible career options? Career aspirations start earlier than you think, so it's good to get kids thinking about their futures.

TEACHERS!

Looking for ways to introduce careers advice? Watch our videos in class or print out some job profiles to kick off a discussion about the types of jobs your pupils might be interested in. First Careers is a digital outreach program that brings careers inspiration into your classroom and helps give subjects real world meaning.

Work Experience Opportunities

After you have been inspired, keep an eye on our work experience opportunities tab where you will find the latest exciting openings to see first hand what it's like to work within some of the country's biggest and most successful companies.
