Knowing that career is about life, learning and work helps us understand that career concerns everyone, is for everyone, and encompasses the learning we undertake from birth throughout life. When viewed through this lens, it becomes easier to see why we should be thinking about career in elementary schools. Through extensive literature reviews and empirical data, we examined what helps children aged 8 to 12 years thrive, (e.g., through their development of self-regulation, self-efficacy, confidence). From these data we have produced a teaching toolkit of career-related learning that takes the reader through unpacking career, nurturing and developing foundational skills, the value of a community approach, and where to draw upon support from the curriculum and the broader career development field. [/vc_column_text][spacing desktop_height=”35″ mobile_height=”25″ smobile_height=”10″][headings alignment=”” heading_color=”#568caf” heading=”Why career professionals should attend”][spacing desktop_height=”20″][vc_column_text]This FREE webinar is for anyone who is concerned with helping children learn and develop the various skills they need to successfully navigate their learning through school and beyond.  Whether you are a teacher, guidance counsellor, career educator, school leader, curriculum developer, policymaker – or a parent – you will get valuable insights and practices for supporting and shaping career-related learning in elementary and secondary schools. The webinar will also be an excellent opportunity for participants to be introduced to the new teaching toolkit which includes a range of activities adaptable to unique contexts and settings, along with resources links and URLs guiding the readers to a broad overview of freely available resources supporting effective career-related learning in the elementary classroom. [/vc_column_text][spacing desktop_height=”35″][headings alignment=”” heading_color=”#568caf” heading=”Key learning takeaways”][vc_column_text]

Career-related learning helps children understand who they could become. We know that teachers engage students in a variety of learning and play activities that introduce and develop foundational concepts and skills, such as healthy habits, socioemotional skills, empathy and teamwork. Such concepts and skills are crucial for successful career development in later life-stages, but they are not usually undertaken through a career development lens by grade 4-6 teachers. This study shed light on how such foundational concepts and skills, introduced and developed by classroom teachers, intersect with career development and manifest into career-related learning in Canadian elementary schools.
