Ever wondered why we learn stuff in schools? Why do we need maths or English skills? In the world of work, people need these skills to do their jobs. You could be a games designer, a physiotherapist or a construction engineer or anything you want to be but practising these skills will give you more choices and help you to be better at your job. Watching these films might give you some ideas as to why the skills are important and how you might recognise them in yourself. Whether you are a school pupil, a parent or an educator, we hope these films help you to see the value in working hard and learning new things. This series of 10 short films aims to link the primary curriculum with essential employability skills in the real world of work. These are real people talking about the skills they need in their jobs. Learning about skills at school helps to prepare young people for the world of work, helping them to understand their own skills and broadening their horizons. We also hope you’ve noticed that many of the participants are female. Challenging gender stereotypes is an important part of these films – boys and girls can be anything they want to be if they work hard enough.
