In this innovative project, final year BA Graphic Design students were tasked with creating tools for teachers to use for career guidance, with the aim of encouraging widening participation students to consider careers in graphic design. Working in teams, and in different school environments, students had to work with young people aged 14-16 to develop ways of enabling them to reflect on their skill-sets and where that might take them in the future.
