Vocational education plays a vital role in preparing students for the future. These career-focused simulations enable teachers to demonstrate to students how academic knowledge connects to meaningful, hands-on work. Whether repairing complex systems, supporting others in health care settings, or preparing food in a professional kitchen, students gain insight into how their learning links to life beyond school. Introducing vocational skills widens participation, builds confidence, and highlights diverse routes to success, including those that don’t involve a traditional degree qualification. This collection offers high-quality simulations that immerse participants in a wide range of vocational pathways. Each one places students in the role of a professional – encouraging them to explore tools, environments and expectations across different careers. Structured additional learning resources emphasize key vocabulary retention, visual note-taking, and reflection tasks, while extension activities research related roles, deepening career awareness. Featured roles include: - Dialysis technician - Drones Certified nursing assistant - Executive chef - HVAC technician - Intro to construction - Math in the workplace - Mechanics at work - Welding Whether used as part of a careers unit, a cross-curricular project or to bring context to a subject lesson, these simulations help students explore their interests and develop key workplace skills. With teacher guidance and meaningful follow-up tasks, students begin to see career education not as a separate topic but as an integrated part of everyday learning. **Age range:** Adaptable, but we recommend that users are aged 12 and over. Please check that all content is suitable for your students before beginning the simulations.
