For primary teachers, we’ve developed a set of resources for you and your pupils.
They’re simple to use and will help you bring careers into your lessons.
We’ve created 4 different tools for primary 5 to 7 pupils to interact with.
Animal Me
A fun quiz that lets pupils explore their personality. At the end of the quiz, they’ll be assigned an animal. This will give them some ideas about the types of careers that might suit them.
My Interests
Pupils can find out how their interests and likes can guide them when they’re making decisions. Their results will give them some ideas about jobs they might be interested in for the future.
Skills Story
An interactive story learning tool that lets pupils find out about and use different types of skills.
Profile
After completing the other tools, pupils can write statements about their personality, interests and skills in their profile. This can be downloaded and shared with others.
These tools are designed for use throughout the Second level. They’ll support delivery of the Career Education Standard and introduce Career Management Skills.
To start using the tools with your class, you'll need to register as a primary teacher on My World of Work. Once registered, you'll see a link in your account area to register your class.
If you cannot see the link to register your class, check your account settings and make sure your role is set to a 'primary school teacher'.

Sometimes you may have pupils with the same name. They’ll need a differential to identify with – a middle initial can be a good idea for example, James G and James F.
You'll need to register your class first. Pupils should go to myworldofwork.co.uk/primary.
Their default passcode will be 1234. They'll be asked to update this the first time they log in.
If the pupils are using the same computer as you to access the tools, remember to log out of your own My World of Work account before they try to log in.
To support the use of the digital tools and to allow you to explore even more aspects of work with your pupils, we’ve also created a set of teaching activities.
You can find these on the teaching resources page and filtering by 'Second level'.
If you’re transferring pupils to their teacher for next year, there’s a few things you’ll need to check.
Both of these steps will need to be completed before you can continue with transferring your class to their new teacher.
To transfer your class to their new teacher, follow these steps:
