Inspiring the Future Guess My Job events involve panel sessions where participants try to guess role models’ jobs, followed by in-depth discussions in smaller groups.
These events work well for primary, intermediate and younger secondary students as they introduce a wide range of jobs participants may not know about, and challenge assumptions about careers.
Below is everything you need to run a Guess My Job event. Read the step-by-step guide to find out how and when to use each resource.
