7. What we have learnt • Everybody deserves the same opportunities in life. • Nobody should be limited by their identity when thinking about jobs or education (for example, by race, disability, age, gender or religion). • You don’t have to do the same things that your parents or carers did. Slide 7

8. What we have learnt • It is not right to stereotype or to discriminate against people because of who they are. • There’s no such thing as a job that’s ‘just for boys’ or ‘just for girls’. Race, religion or disability should not stop us from achieving the job we want to do. • You have to work hard to get what you want. Slide 8

9. What we have learnt • There are thousands of different and exciting jobs out there, lots of which you can see examples of in the local community. • Different jobs have different features and these will suit different people. • Everybody has different skills and these skills might mean they are really well suited to certain jobs.

Slide 11

12. What we have learnt • Sometimes people work for reasons other than getting money (for example, working for a charity because they believe in the work the charity is doing, or working to get experience). • We should all try to do our best in whatever it is we do. • Jobs don‘t have to be for life. Slide 12
