I Do

The Model — Labour-Market Information

Key Idea: Real information about jobs, plus the pathway from an entry role.
Step 0 of 3

Labour-market information — what it is.

It is real information about jobs: which are hiring, what they pay, and what skills they need. It replaces guesswork with facts.

Reading it simply.

You do not need to be an expert. Look for: is this work available locally, and what does it ask for? That is enough to plan a first step.

Pathways — entry role to next step.

Most jobs have a route: start as an assistant, gain skills, move to a more skilled role. Naming the pathway makes a goal feel reachable.

Proving It — The Evidence Loop

Key Idea: A pathway you have mapped from real information is strong careers evidence.
Step 0 of 3

Documentarian

photo your pathway map: entry role to next step.

Annotate

write ‘this is available locally because ___’.

Witness

staff sign your labour-market research.

For the moderator, not just the folder

A tick says it happened. A witness statement says what you did. Before the photo is filed, the adult writes one sentence naming the thing they actually saw you do — and rings whether you did it Supported, Standard or Stretch.

That ring is the part that counts. It is the difference between “the class did this” and “this candidate did it, at this level, with this much help.” The witness sheet prints with every pack.

Match the Term to Its Meaning

🤝 With support

Task: Sort job cards into HIRING LOCALLY and NOT SURE, then build one simple pathway with an adult.

Steps: One step at a time — adult support is right there. Photo it when you are proud of it.

👤 On your own

Task: Read the local job information provided, then map one pathway from an entry role to a next step.

Steps: Work it through — photo as you go, annotate at the end, witness tick before you pack up.

🚀 Take it further

Task: Use two sources to check a sector is hiring locally, then map a pathway with the skills each step needs.

Steps: Task first, sources second — say how each source backs your pathway.
