What's my job?

This activity has been designed to connect primary teachers, pupils and schools with staff from a wide range of job and career roles in the Environment Agency. It is guidance on how an Environment Agency STEM Ambassador can talk to children to inspire them with their enthusiasm for their role at the Environment Agency and the world of work. It is an opportunity to show pupils how what they learn at school is used in everyday situations and the exciting roles they could possibly do when they are older.

The activity contains the following items.

  • guidance for an Environment Agency STEM Ambassador to prepare for a visit to a school including guidance on the best language to use with pupils
  • teacher guidance 
  • template presentation which can be adapted by the Environment Agency STEM Ambassador
  • example presentation of an Environment Agency environmental scientist to show the types of images to include

This activity could be used in conjunction with other Environment Agency resources for primary aged pupils such as 'How much water do we waste?' and 'Water cycle'.  These can be found in the Environment Agency - Primary - Water collection here.
