Future plans
Chapter three: Introductory level
Young people discussing their future plans
Instructions
Watch the video clip below. Several young people discuss their plans for the future, responding to questions such as ‘what would you like to do when you leave college?’.
The young people in the clips attend a specialist college for young people who are unable to access education within mainstream education. This may be important as it is likely that these young people will have had unsettled backgrounds and are likely to have experienced difficulties fitting in in previous mainstream education settings. If you work in a mainstream education setting, you may work with young people whose experiences are not as extreme as those discussed here.
Task
As you watch the video, work through the following questions:
What sort of ideas do young people have about their futures?
What ideas do you have about the implications for supporting the transition from education to employment?
