• The history of jobs and jobs in the future. Learners were able to identify a range of job roles which are no longer used and state reasons why including health and safety implications and equality and diversity.
• Identifying and challenging stereotypes linked to job roles including elements of the 9 protected characteristics of the Equality Act 2010.
