FUTUREGOALS

Live Brief is a project aimed at young people that gives them the opportunity to take part in a one of a kind ‘Virtual Work Experience Journey’. We’ve produced an engaging series of videos, animations and challenges designed to replace the usual, and currently unavailable, face-to-face work experience offer.

Students have the opportunity to take part in challenges linked to different sectors – Construction, Manufacturing & Engineering, Digital and Health Tech. The challenges aim to make students aware of the key skills needed for each sector, the desired qualifications and also to showcase some of the lesser known career opportunities available.

In this first Live Brief, students’ knowledge, skills and focus will be tested through a fictional new housing development project. This first challenge booklet is broken down into three separate tasks that focus on skills from the three core curriculum areas: maths, English and science.

Each challenge also includes a ‘Career focus’ page that looks in detail at the job role students are about to take on. This information includes role specifics, key skills and job requirements.

Manufacturing/Engineering

The aim of this challenge is to showcase the range of career opportunities within the Manufacturing and Engineering sector. The challenges also aim to make students aware of the key skills needed within the sector, as well as the qualifications required.

These key skills and careers are highlighted through a fictional project based around the development and launch of ‘Project Z’ – a new product designed for the Health and Social sector.

Each challenge also includes a ‘Career focus’ page that looks in detail at the job role students are about to take on. This information includes role specifics, key skills and job requirements.
