Technology is not one career
Three role families to investigate, with a task-based reason and a question for each.

behind the job titles.
Bring technology careers into the classroom. Ready-to-use teaching materials, realistic Role Labs and evidence learners can use to decide what comes next.
For schools, colleges and training providers · Tutor-led delivery

- Teaching programme
- 8 connected modules
- Classroom sessions

- Lab progression
- Guided Applied Stretch
01 / Experience the work
Six roles.
Six different ways to think.
Each lab has its own working environment, tools and decisions. Learners investigate a situation, make a change, check the result and explain their reasoning.
IT support
The course won’t open.
Staff can access the course. Six learners cannot. Compare the evidence, test a repair and check that staff records remain protected.
What learners take away
A support handover with the checks behind the decision.
One role. Room to grow. Support changes as learners progress.
- 01GuidedPrompts help learners find their next check.
- 02AppliedUse the evidence to choose a response.
- 03StretchHandle more complex decisions and trade-offs.
02 / Bring it into the classroom
A programme to teach.
A place to put it into practice.
Eight connected careers modules build the wider picture. Optional role workshops and the Role Labs bring particular kinds of work into focus.
Prepare with confidence
Tutor companions set out the lesson, prompts, worked examples and support.
Put the lesson on screen
Classroom slides give the group a shared case, activity and discussion.
Give the thinking somewhere to go
Learner workbooks capture evidence, decisions and reflection.

Preferences, strengths and constraints
A personal evidence map, not a personality label.
There is no single correct route
Two entry routes compared, a preferred route and a backup.
Challenge the recommendation
A checked recommendation, a reasoned choice and dated actions for 30, 60 and 90 days.
Read a tech job advert properly
An independent comparison of two tech opportunities, a justified first investigation and a question that could change it.
Fix a problem the way IT support does
A tested troubleshooting guide, an observation record and a justified revision or retained version, labelled as a classroom exercise.
Explain your tech work in an interview
A five-line account of a tech task, two answered follow-ups and a sentence revised or retained with a reason.
Take your evidence into the next conversation
An evidence passport, an adviser agenda and a dated follow-up action.
03 / Make the learning visible
“Here’s what I found.
Here’s why it matters.”
A finished task is only part of the story. Learners keep a record of their sources, changes, checks and reasoning, then reflect on what the experience tells them about the role.
- Evidence to discuss with a tutor or adviser
- A handover that explains decisions and limits
- A more informed next question about a career
Simulation records support reflection. They do not certify job readiness or replace work experience.
04 / Make it work for your learners
Your group.
A considered starting point.
Start with the audience and the questions you want learners to explore. We agree the delivery, access and evaluation with your institution before a pilot begins.
- 01
Agree the fit
Discuss learner age, course, support needs, group size and what you want to learn from the pilot.
- 02
Plan the delivery
Choose the modules and activities, identify the staff lead and agree cohort access and learner boundaries.
- 03
Review the evidence
Use learner outputs and agreed feedback to decide what worked, what did not and what should change.
Available through an agreed institutional pilot. The materials have not yet been validated in a real institution. Access, delivery terms and evaluation are agreed before use.
