  1. Paul Activity 1

  2. Paul said • “I started going back into lessons ‘cos I found I needed (qualifications) to get on the course that I wanted to.”

  3. Key features about Paul. • He enjoyed outdoor activity more than work in the classroom, particularly when it came to English and Maths. • However as he got older he discovered he was going to need some qualifications to pursue his preferred career choice – which was in the uniformed services.

  4. Task 1 • In your groups come with up with a list of day to day tasks or routines that are likely to be part of that job. For example if Paul was in the army he would probably have to: • get up at a specific time • follow set routines for preparing his uniform, tidying his living area, cleaning his equipment • practice drill and exercise routines • learn to work with others • take responsibility for specific tasks etc.

  5. Choose from: • Member of a boy/girl band • Cosmetic surgeon • Running a pub • On board crew for an airline • Fitness instructor at a leisure centre • Nanny in a celebrity family • Dancer in musical • Morning TV presenter Feedback to the rest of the group

  6. Look again at the lists and identify: • i) what sort of training a person would have needed to do before they started the job • ii) what sort of on-going training a person might need to keep the job. • Feedback to the group.

  7. Case Study Imagine that Paul had chosen sport rather than the uniformed services, as a career. • Look at the Case Study ‘Paul the professional footballer’. Work in pairs answering the questions on the Case Study. • As a whole class group discuss the answers

  8. Truanting • Suppose Paul had continued truanting from school – how might that have affected his application to join a football academy for a professional club? • Discuss this. Focus on not only what truanting might have looked like on Paul’s school record but what this might suggest about him to future employers. For example how would a truanting comment on his report affect his hope to enter the uniformed services?

  9. Review and reflection • “A statement I’d like to read about myself in my school record is . . .”
