7. 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?

9. How I got here… Year 10 - Maths Stage 1 Failed! Years 11 and 12 –Satisfactory achievements in Physics, Maths Stage 2, Chemistry, Legal Studies and German

11. University First year science Failed - quit mid year First year Modern Languages Failed - quit mid year Got a job.

12. University (4 years later) First year Engineering – 3 near misses Second year - 3 failures Third year – overloaded but passed. Four and halfth year - passed (53%)

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!

17. Skills we require Keen to learn Ability to learn Team work Communication Problem solving Learns from mistakes

18. Summary Encourage you to produce well rounded, risk aware, self aware and happy people. People who can help me out, and teach me a thing or two in five to ten years time.
