You r F u t u r e s Ac t i on P l an . Writing an action plan is a good way to focus your ideas and decide on what steps you need to take to move towards your career and life goals. What kind of career do you want to have? What kind of lifestyle do you want to live? These aren’t always easy questions to answer but writing your Futures Plan is a way to get you thinking about this. Where am I now? Use this section to summarise the things you are doing at the minute. What are you studying at school, what subjects are you enjoying? What interests do you have outside of school? What makes you different to others around you? Talk about what you think your skills and qualities are. What are you good at? Where I want to be? What are your dreams for the future? Do you have some ideas of the type of career you want to do? What jobs or industries have you read about or seen that interest you? What do you want to achieve in life? Have you thought about the implications of your career? Will that mean staying at school for 6th form, going to college or even to university? Perhaps you’re not sure on some of this. Write down thoughts you have so far. How I plan to get there? This is the part where you need to detail the steps you need to take. What actions do you need to take between now and the future you have planned out? What advice might you need and from whom?

What qualifications do you need to achieve? What skills do you need to develop? Would any work experience help? Or building a por tfolio of work? Do you need to attend a career event or get an interview with your school careers adviser? Try and state the action and timescales by which you need to complete these tasks. What could be a short term goal, medium term and what are your long term goals? What happens next? Once you have completed the plan you can submit it electronically. Mrs Sheard will then get back to you by Email within 6 weeks with some ideas, suggestions, advice and guidance. Please be aware that if you are in Year 7 to 11 and wish to request a guidance interview these will take place after school at 3pm or 3.30pm. How long will it take to complete? It all depends on you. You should spend at least 20-30 minutes on this. Ready to go?
