2 CAREERS IN SCIENCE M/505/3098 LEVEL 2 AIM AND PURPOSE OF THE UNIT Most great achievements begin with a plan and a career should be no different. Having a plan will give individuals something to work towards and help them make the most of the opportunities that come their way - this unit is the starting point. This unit will enable learners to develop the knowledge, understanding and the skills required to begin to effectively plan and develop effectively to follow a career path within the science sector. Learners will explore the range of employment opportunities within a selected sector of the science industry, research in detail their preferred career options and develop practical skills in job application techniques. 2

6 DELIVERY GUIDANCE The delivery of the unit can be taken in a step by step approach: Choosing a specific area of science for a career Choosing a specific job for a science career Knowing how to apply for a job Knowing how to get the job LO1 Know the range of employment opportunities within the science sector. This Learning Outcome could be approached through a group brainstorming activity, group or individual research. Guest speakers can be invited in to talk to the group; the speakers could range from scientists in industry to laboratory technicians in the school. Also consider people from the local area as this is where a number of learners will find employment, these people could be: mechanics; hospital workers; hairdresser; publicans. Contact your local STEMNET for your local STEM ambassador - the STEM Ambassadors Programme enables teachers to make links from the curriculum to how STEM is practiced in the world of work, illuminating applications across a vast range of careers. STEM Ambassadors are people from STEM backgrounds who volunteer as inspiring role models for young people. They can contribute both to regular lessons or participate in extra-curricular activities such as STEM Clubs, Careers Days and visits. They may also be available to conduct mock interviews. Learners could produce a list of the main areas of employment in the science sector ranging from local to international. Learners could research these areas of employment and state whether they are in growth or decline - it is expected that quantitative data will be produced to back up the learners statements. From the learners analysis of the range of areas of employment, they could focus on new technologies, and pick one area of interest and give an explanation on its impact on the jobs market. They could then present their findings to the group. LO2 Know some of the job roles within a science organisation and how to apply for a position within the science sector. This Learning Outcome leads on from the previous activities and learners use their sources to collate information on careers. Learners also have the opportunity to go through the process of searching for a job and applying for it. Learners could be encouraged to research the job sections of local newspapers or relevant internet websites. The Careers Resource Centre (or similar) may be able to provide further materials, resource packs to gather information on career opportunities. Learners are required to select a career option local to them and that they are interested in and produce a summary of their chosen career. They can take this further listing the advantages and disadvantages for that career that are pertinent to themselves. Whenever possible learners should be encourage to speak to employees of the organisation, industrial mentors and to outside speakers. Internet research will be appropriate for some organisations while for others it may be more appropriate to visit and collect leaflets, brochures and details of services. Examples of useful materials to indicate trends and improvements include the mission statement, marketing materials, company newsletters or annual reports and organisational charts. Local speakers could be invited to work with the learners, as this should help to increase the interest and engagement of the learners, For example, a STEM ambassador could be invited to talk about the various advantages and disadvantages of the way in which local science sector industries are organised. Learners should be encouraged to keep up to date with local issues, such as the extent to which the industrial trends are affecting the job market; tutors should consider that a number of their learners will be seeking local employment. Learners may need a substantial amount of tutor guidance in preparing a Curriculum Vitae (CV), answering some of the questions on application forms appropriately and structuring covering letters. Sample documents could be obtained from an employer on the understanding that the documents will be used for training purposes. The CV content/layout can be quite different depending on the job role the learner is going for. There are a number of websites that will help learners identify their needs and how to apply for a job. 6

7 Careers in Science Level 2 Unit 6 SUGGESTED ASSESSMENT SCENARIOS AND GUIDANCE ON ASSESSMENT Criteria Assignment Scenario Assessment LO1 LO2 Promoting employment in science Choosing a career in science and applying for a job Learners have been asked to produce promotional employment material for an area in science. The area needs to attract more employees with a background of science. The material can be in a range of formats, such as printed material, video or website. The promotion should stress the opportunities for its employees both locally and internationally, the areas future growth and how it will use new technology to help develop. Learners have been asked to produce promotional employment material for a science organisation. The organisation needs to attract more employees with a background of science. The promotional material needs to provide a step by step plan on how to identify a job and then to apply for it. The material can be in a range of formats, such as printed material, video or website. The promotion should outline the job roles and careers within the organisation. P1 From their initial research learners could produce a list of science sectors indicating whether they employ local, nationally and/ or internationally and then for M1 indicate whether these sectors are in decline or growth. D1 Learners should discuss how new technologies can aid in the development of organisations in the science sector. P2 Learners produce material outlines job roles in career areas within a science organisation and in M2 Learners should list the advantages and disadvantages of a career role. D2 Learners produce a table evaluating the advantages against the disadvantages of a career role. P3 Learners produce a step plan on how to identify a job and then in M3 they go further and plan to apply for the job. 7
