CAREERS HIVE SKILLS AND STRENGTHS WORKSHOP

INTRODUCTION AND INSTRUCTIONS This pre-recorded workshop will get students thinking about the individual strengths

and skills they are developing during their time at school and about how these relate

to real-life situations in STEM industries.

This booklet provides all of the materials required to explore a fun and innovative

workplace, in which people with different strengths and skills work collaboratively and

creatively to share ideas and address challenges. It is perfect for helping students to

visualise their future selves and connect what they learn at school to the wide range of

opportunities that exist in STEM.

This guide provides you with the teacher notes you need to run the 'Skills and

Strengths' workshop and the pages you will need to copy to provide the required

materials to your students. These materials are used alongside the 'Skills and

Strengths Workshop' video.

All videos, documents, print outs and support resources referenced in this document

can be found on a dedicated section of our website.

FOR THE WORKSHOP YOU WILL NEED: A set of skills and strengths words per student or group.

A set of job cards per student or group.

A set of subject cards per student or group.

A set of challenge cards per class.

These can all be copied/printed from this booklet and the students should cut out the

words and cards before the session starts.

AT A GLANCE The Careers Hive ‘Skills and Strengths’ workshop gives students a chance to explore

where their own and their classmates’ skills and strengths lie, to help them better

understand what their career path and future career could involve.

TEACHER NOTES

TARGET AGE GROUP: S1–3 MINIMUM TIME REQUIRED: 45–60 MINUTESSESSION FOCUS This interactive, video-led workshop is designed as a catalyst for thinking about the future of our planet and our place within it as

workers, leaders, problem solvers and creators. Students will explore and experiment with careers concepts in order to identify

their individual skills and strengths and consider what they might want their future working lives to look like.

Introduction – students explore what they enjoy doing to start them thinking about how that can connect to a future role.

Skills and strengths – Students look at what a skill and what a strength is, explore the difference and where they have cross

over. They then try to recognise the skills and strengths they see in themselves and others.

STEM jobs – Students match a set of pre-defined jobs to the skills and strengths they feel are relevant to the roles so that they can see what might line up with their own areas of interest.

Transferrable skills – Students explore what a transferable skill is to understand more about how studying certain subjects

can prepare you for a wide range of careers.

School subjects – Students explore how taking a range of subjects can be useful for a future career and how a balance has

value.

Partner skills – Students share the skills and strengths they picked for each other at the start to give an outsider’s

perspective.

Team challenge – Students work as a group to look at a scenario and assign roles to each member of the group based on

what they feel that person is particularly good at. This again provides an external perspective on their futures. They are also

asked to consider which role they would have selected for themselves, to encourage self-reflection.  

Conclusion - Students reflect on what they have learnt and think more about a career they are interested in.

KEY LEARNING OUTCOMES CURRICULUM LINKSStudents will be able to represent their current understanding

as they:

Identify the skills required for different types of work.

Recognise that organisations are made up of people with

different skills and qualifications. 

Express that jobs are for everyone.

Consider how choosing STEM subjects at school can lead

to a wide range of job options in the future.

Consider the link between subjects they choose and

routes to further training when they leave school.

This workshop complements the following experiences and

outcomes:

HWB 3-19a: I am developing the skills and attributes

which I will need for learning, life and work. I am gaining

understanding of the relevance of my current learning to

future opportunities. This is helping me to make informed

choices about my life and learning.

HWB 2-20a / HWB 3-20a / HWB 4-20a: I am investigating

different careers/occupations, ways of working and

learning and training paths. I am gaining experience that

helps me recognise the relevance of my learning, skills

and interests to my future life.

TEACHER BACKGROUND INFORMATIONThe workshop objectives are to:

1. Address the downturn in enthusiasm of students towards STEM subjects from S3 onwards.

2. Support students in making well-informed decisions about their futures.

3. Showcase the breadth of careers options within STEM.

To address the shortfall in STEM-qualified individuals in Scotland we must increase the number of those choosing and 

continuing study in STEM subjects at school. There are a number of barriers in the delivery of careers information in schools

and some key factors influence pupils in their choice to study STEM subjects. We aim to address these barriers and influencing 

factors by engaging S1/S2 pupils in careers-related activity in a hands-on workshop environment that links closely to real-world

examples.

SESSION DETAIL

SECTION TEACHER GUIDANCEHOW TO 1.  Split the group into pairs/groups as you see fit. This works best if students are in small, 

even groups but will work with any group size or as pairs.

2. Hand out the materials to the class.

3. Play the Careers Hive ‘Skills and Strengths’ video and pause at the relevant points to

complete the activities.

INTRODUCTION Interests Encourage students to note down a few of their areas of interest or things they really enjoy

doing. They don’t have to be education related.

Allow 1 minute for activity.

SKILLS AND STRENGTHS Encourage students to write down as many skills and strengths (S&S) as they can think of.

Allow 2 minutes for activity.

YOUR OWN AND OTHERS SKILLS AND STRENGTHS

Encourage students to pair up with someone else in their group.

On paper mark down what they feel their own S&S are and what they think the S&S of their

partner are. Students can then share what they thought their own S&S were.

They are to keep hidden what they wrote for the other person.

Students can use the S&S words provided to inspire their choices.

Allow 4 minutes for activity.

SKILLS AND STRENGTHS SORTING

Students are to try to sort the S&S words into 3 columns, one for things they see as a skill,

one for strengths and one for words they think fall into both categories.

Allow 5 minutes for activity.

Encourage a whole class discussion about where they placed certain words and why.

STEM JOBS AND TRANSFERRABLE SKILLS

Students look at a certain S&S and try to place/match them with as many of the jobs on the

job cards as they can.

Allow 4 minutes for activity.

SCHOOL SUBJECTS Use the subject cards to encourage students to consider which subjects would be useful

for each job.

Allow 5 minutes for activity.

PARTNER SKILLS AND STRENGTHS

Go back to the ‘Your Own and Others’ Skills and Strengths’ activity and ask students to

share what they noted down for their partner.

Allow 2 minutes for activity.

TEAM CHALLENGE Each group should get a challenge card, it does not matter if more than one group have

the same challenge.

Ask students to read through a challenge card and assign roles to each member of their

group based on the S&S the group thinks they have.

They cannot assign themselves a role as part of the team but should think about which they

would choose for themselves.

Encourage questions, e.g.:

- Tell me what you think about the job you’ve been given.

- Do you agree that you have the skills the team say you have?

- What would you most look forward to doing in that job?

-  Was it easy or difficult to choose, and why? 

Allow 10 minutes for activity.

CONCLUSION Have a whole class discussion about what they learnt during the session and if they were

surprised by the S&S others saw in them.

Post-session activity - Ask students to look at the subjects and skills and strengths cards

again and match them to a career they are interested in.

LESSON SUPPORTFOLLOW-UP IDEAS Ask students to conduct an interview with someone in their life about their career path, exploring if it followed a direct line

or if they changed their mind along the way. Question what they feel were the most important skills and strengths which got

them to where they are in their career.

Share your own career path as a teacher or ask a colleague to talk about their path with the class if they had an unusual path

to teaching.

Subject activity – Students should note down a career they are interested in and then carry out a research project into the

relevant subjects they can take at school. Ask them to note down as many subjects as they can which might have some

relevance, not just the obvious choices.
