Impact / Outcome This lesson builds skills in inquiry-based learning
through the use of the strategic intelligence
transformation map. It helps second-level career
programme students identify and predict the essential
skills relevant to their future careers. By encouraging
critical thinking and research skills, students become
more prepared and competitive in the job market,
adapt to new challenges and make informed
decisions about their education and career paths.
The short-term outcomes are the development of
research and critical thinking skills, while the longterm impacts are increased career readiness and
adaptability in a dynamic job market. The reflective
component of the lesson will encourage students to
think about how to apply what they have learned to
their own career planning and development.
