Careers at Transend

• Lets be honest
• Graduate careers are a long way off!
• How do you get to graduate?

8
Food for thought

• Life present lots of opportunities.
• Decisions made in high school can and do affect
  lives.
• Subjects chosen now do define a direction in
  future life.
• Is it really fair?

13
What do we do?

• Choosing subjects now which are of interest
  will be enjoyable but where does it lead?
• Choosing traditional subjects may be a safe
  approach but what impact does it has on
  motivation?

14
What do we do?

• Deciding a career path is a risk, or cost-benefit
  trade off, type decision.
• Do we give them room to get it wrong?
• We are allowed to get it wrong!!!

15
The good news!

• Teenagers make decisions based on risk all the
  time.
• Do I take the free calls, or the free texts?
• Do I attack the Orcs or Space Marines?
• Football or girlfriend?
• Do I download the update, or reprogram it myself?
• Help Mum? Nah!
• They are a smart bunch!

16
The balanced approach (maybe!?!)

• Undertaking a mixture of interesting and
  technical subjects does lay a great platform for
  the future.
• Maths and science subjects lead to
• Science
• Engineering
• Computing
• Accounting
• Economics
• Teaching etc
• There is room to fail, and start again!
