Treat your students to a careers event with a difference.
With over 100 staff members in a variety of roles, your students will discover opportunities in areas they might never have considered. From marine biology to engineering, marketing, hospitality, and more – we provide a comprehensive look at the diverse careers available in a unique and exciting workplace.
Your students will experience this dynamic environment behind the scenes, meeting some of the amazing people who make up our fantastic team at the Ocean Conservation Trust .
Our Careers Week packages have been designed to hit Gatsby Benchmarks 4, 5, 6, and 7, providing real-world encounters and insights into a variety of career paths. Your dedicated Schools Officer will guide students through the different routes staff have taken into their roles, exploring relevant school subjects, qualifications, and experiences in Further Education (FE) and Higher Education (HE).

What We Offer
We have designed three different Careers Tours, that bring learning to life, offering behind-the-scenes insights and real-world experiences. Each tour comes with a recommended workshop to reinforce the learning and themes of the tour, but you are welcome to pick from any of our suite of workshop options.
1. The Biologist

Ideal for: KS3+ | Can be adapted for KS2 on request.
Budding marine biologists will love exploring the aquarium’s scientific side with this sneak peek behind the scenes.
2. The Engineer

Ideal for: KS4+ | Can be adapted for KS3 on request
Engineers are the hidden heroes of our aquarium, ensuring everything runs smoothly and thereby supporting our ocean conservation work.
3. The World is Your Oyster

Ideal for: KS2+
With over 100 staff members, there are many different roles within the Ocean Conservation Trust, all as important as each other! This tour is a great introduction to the many career possibilities your students may be interested in.
Please note that we will be taking a tour around a working organisation, and therefore we can’t guarantee the availability of specific staff members/roles to speak directly with students. The leading Schools Officer will be able to provide insight into specific roles if that member of staff is available to speak with students.
Virtual Offerings

Can’t attend in person? We’ll be sharing a set of virtual resources that will both complement our in-person offerings and stand alone as engaging careers content.
