How to use Developing Experts’ AI Career Builder for Effective Careers Education

Helping pupils connect classroom learning to real-world careers is a key aim of both Developing Experts and the National Curriculum. The NC highlights the importance of preparing students for “the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences of later life,” making high-quality careers guidance an essential part of education.

If you’re wondering how to deliver impactful careers education in primary or secondary schools, Developing Experts makes it simple. Our AI Career Builder and Job Families tools give teachers everything needed to inspire future career choices and meet statutory guidance. 

Step 1: Launch the AI Career Builder

After logging in to your DE account, select AI Career Builder. This interactive advisor uses a simple questionnaire and AI-powered matching to suggest careers that fit a student’s interests and skills. It gives personalised recommendations and career pathway guidance, so it’s perfect for helping pupils see how classroom learning links to future opportunities.

Step 2: Explore Job Families

Next, head to the Job Families page in the Careers Zone. Here, you’ll find 31 career families - ranging from Agriculture & Animal Care to Computing & Coding - each with helpful visuals and concise introductions. You can click into each family to open detailed information about roles, essential skills and typical progression routes. It’s all the information your students need condensed into one helpful space. 

Step 3: Connect Careers to the Curriculum

Integrate these tools into lessons to show how subjects like science, maths, geography and technology lead to a wide range of industries. This supports the National Curriculum careers requirements and helps students make informed decisions about their next steps in education and employment.
