GA Annual Conference 2026

This session is based on my chapter 'Teaching careers in geography' from the book What is Geography Teaching, Now?, published by John Catt. Delegates will gain a unique perspective (I am both a professionally qualified and experienced careers guidance adviser and a geography teacher), plus detailed insight into ways to embed up-to-date careers education, information, advice and guidance (CEIAG) into schemes of learning for years 7-11. They will find out more about the role of careers guidance advisers in schools and the increasing use of AI in the fields of career exploration, planning, development and management for young people today. Participants will brainstorm activities and devise their own action points around embedding high-quality CEIAG into their programmes of study and schemes of learning.
