Sut beth yw cyngor gyrfaoedd nawr What careers advice looks like now This part of the session will focus on participants sharing their knowledge and identifying what careers advice and guidance is available to them. Depending on numbers, split participants into groups of 4/5 people and assign each group to one of the colour circles. Each of the “doors” will be represented by a piece of flipchart paper, clearly stating which environment it relates to. The groups will be asked to discuss what provision is available to them within that environment and identify any strengths or weaknesses. Groups will be provided with post-it notes and pens to write down their thoughts down and add them to the flipchart. After a few minutes, groups should move on to the next “door”. Repeat this until all groups have had a chance to discuss and comment on all four “doors”. In case that the room does not offer the space for participants to move freely, the flipchart should be passed from each group to the next. Once all groups have discussed and commented on all “doors” bring the workshop back together and ask them to feedback their comments and thoughts. This conversation will then lead on to the next activity. Sefydliad Institution Undeb Union Cymuned Community

Sut rydym am i gyngor gyrfaoedd fod How we want careers advice to look Sefydliad Institution Undeb Union Cymuned Community Cartref Home Remaining in their groups, participants will be asked to talk about what they want careers advice to look like in 5 years time. Following on from the previous conversation, ask the groups to discuss what can be done to improve careers advice and guidance. Using the matrix above, get them time to think about how different types of careers advice (using examples from the previous activity) interact with one another. The focus of this activity is to identify what can be done to improve careers advice and guidance within each individual environment and how they then interact/enhance one another. Unlike the previous activity, this matrix includes the home environment, which includes the advice available from family members, friends and the like. If participants are struggling with this environment, ask questions like: What level of involvement do parents have in their child’s career/education choices? What support is their for parents to help their children make the right decision? Each group should be given a sheet of flipchart and marker pens to map out their perfect careers service.
