Careers and enrichment in primary computing
CO441 Face to face course
Find out how career-linked learning and enrichment opportunities can provide motivation and broaden horizons for your primary-aged pupils.
Skip to course bookingChildren begin to make decisions about their future at an early age. This means it is crucial that children’s experiences in computing build their computing capital and their feeling on belonging in computing. This includes career-linked learning in computing as well as authentic experiences with a range of job roles. This helps to enable children to see the relevance of computing and may also help to and dispel any stereotypes that might limit their perceived choices.
You will explore evidence around children’s career aspirations, considering approaches to ensure all children are aware of future opportunities linked to computing. You will find out how to engage with a STEM Ambassador, to support effective career-learning at primary. You will also explore a range of enrichment opportunities, identifying how best to use them to engage a diverse range of learners.
