A Week in the Workplace
What could my career be?
Making a decision on what your career will be is often the biggest stumbling block for young people when they think about their futures. A useful place to start is by focussing on your own skills and strengths and what role in the workplace would best suit you. Finding roles that suit your strengths will open the door to a wide range of industries. The first step is just to start!

Where could I work?
In this second bitesize lesson, we are looking at future career possibilities from a different perspective - where could you physically work? We spend the majority of our week in our work environments, so this is a really important decision and one that is subject to huge debate, especially with the rise of online working. Gain further insight into the world of remote working, the realities of the private and public sector and the differences between working for small and big businesses.
