The WOW Show

Resource

The WOW Show partners with award winning film-makers to bring the world of work alive. Films range from 10-15 minute Assembly specials to bitesize segments suitable for study groups and PSHE sessions. 

Our programmes are supported with a range of classroom lesson resources to help young people investigate the qualifications and pathways to the careers they have seen - and with direct links to employers. We are proud to have been named Careers Provider of the Year by the Gatsby Foundation and CEC; and Gold Medal winner at the London Film Awards.

Ready for a career in a world of AI? This new film tackles the extremely topical issue of the way artificial intelligence will dominate and change the majority of jobs and careers. 

‘Give us a minute’: Is a high energy 12 minute film ideal for assemblies. The magazine format features a series of one-minute snapshots of some of the jobs most in demand by employers right now  - construction, hospitality, healthcare, digital, the creative industries and the Royal Navy.  The programme is supported by a highly interactive lesson written by teachers for teachers. Built around the WOW film, it can fit straight into a careers lesson or tutor time and is aligned with the Gatsby Benchmarks and the aims of the UK Careers Curriculum.
