You can’t be what you don’t see!
Romodels takes learners on a journey of career exploration and self-discovery.
What We Do
​​We partner with schools to deliver our three-stage education programme—'Discover, Experience, and Believe'—to support learners aged 3–12 to explore a diverse range of career opportunities and possibilities, regardless of their own lived experiences. Through seeing and interacting with real life Romodels (role models) we inspire young learners to become future changemakers and trailblazers.
The programme is delivered through our original, online, bilingual Romodels Learning Portal, featuring both English and Welsh-speaking Romodels.
​
​
Our Purpose
We believe in a world where all children have the freedom to dream and the ability to realise their full potential.
​
Romodels is a chance to give the smallest amongst us the biggest career dreams and the knowledge, tools, and beliefs to reach them!​
​
The Challenge
​You can't be what you don't see...
Many children only imagine the roles in their day to day lives, not all the exciting possibilities in an ever-changing world. Career aspirations of students have frozen in the past twenty years whilst the economy has changed rapidly.
Stereotypes reduce a child's ability to dream...
By age 6, research shows that children further reduce their dreams for themselves due to stereotypes regarding gender, race/ethnicity, neurodiversity, or physical ability.
​
Late and limited exposure reduces opportunities
​​
Children are frequently encouraged to explore career possibilities too late in their academic life, often in ‘one off’ events, with the careers they are exposed to limited to those that are ‘traditional’ in nature, led by professionals who do not ‘look like’ or ‘sound like’ them
Our Solution
We immerse learners from an early age and give them the chance to explore a plethora of future career opportunities.
​
We do this through an innovative online learning portal which enables teachers to support learners in their classrooms Discover, Experience and Believe in a future of career possibilities.
​
1.Discover: Learners are introduced to diverse and often hidden Romodels (role models) who are actively engaged in a wide range of careers, with a specific focus on roles that foster creativity, innovation, and sustainability.
​
2.Experience: Through real-life missions and independent projects, learners explore what those careers entail.
​
3.Believe: By reflecting on their strengths and the knowledge of what each role involves, learners build the self-belief that “It could be me" in the future.
Teachers access our bilingual career education programme, using tools to inspire career dreams and explore diverse career paths for primary school learners. As a Romodels partner school, teachers can use different Romodels for various age groups and support pupils throughout their primary school years. This empowers teachers to customise a journey of career exploration in their classrooms.
​
​
Romodels is designed to raise learner aspirations and self-confidence and enhance teacher confidence to incorporate careers into their lessons.
