This section will provide a growing collection of career files throughout this website. The files contain interviews with young people in a variety of careers. Some of these are directly related to science, whilst others show the relevance of science in schools to non-science careers. Printed out these could be used as a growing wall display during Science Year. Careers files from previous CDs can be found elsewhere on this website.

The How Scientists Make Money series of assignments provides teachers with a resource specifically designed for the new GCSE in Applied Science and for the updated Science AVCE. How Scientists Make Money helps the student to develop a broader knowledge and understanding of the science sector, and how science is applied in commercial situations. 'Money and Medicine' to name just one example, shows students the huge importance of the UK pharmaceutical industry. The assignment develops the student's ability to record and analyse scientific data (GCSE in Applied Science unit 1.4) and specifically addresses Science in the workplace (GCSE in Applied Science unit 3.1, AVCE unit 1). How Scientists Make Money can also be used to enrich other science courses and as a resource for General Studies, Business Studies and other courses.
