Top Tip
Identify some of the key roles that are working to keep the country going at the moment such as medical & care staff, logistics, teachers, supermarket staff etc and check up on websites such as Allaboutcareers or Careerpilot as to what these roles entail.
Once the students come back to school you can develop some activities around these vital job roles.
