Show Notes
We called the podcast The Great Careers Program. Which raises an obvious question: are we saying schools should stop buying careers programs? No. Not even close. In this short trailer, Marian and Liv address the tension head on. Yes, Liv is the co-founder and CEO of a careers program. Yes, they called the podcast the thing that doesn't exist. Here is what they actually mean by that, and why it matters for every school who cares about the futures of their students. Get in touch Find us o...

What if the way we designed career education wasn't just through a lens of “what works”, but “what might work here”. The “here” makes it about context. The “might” makes it an experiment - something that is crucial to how we design schooling for student futures. In this episode, Liv and Marian talk with Professor Glenn Savage, Professor of Education Futures at the University of Melbourne and author of The Quest for Revolution in Australian Schooling Policy. Glenn was the 15 year o...
Liv and Marian are back with an Ask Us Anything Episode, answering questions from people who are on the ground in schools and universities. No guest, no script, unfiltered and real.

Chris's advice: before you accept that story, ask how do you actually know it's true? He walks through what the UK's own graduate outcomes data is really showing (hint: it's messier and more hopeful...
For decades, we've told students in school that the formula to a good future is relatively simple: work hard, get good grades, study, get a good job. It's the sequence that most schools, parents and the media anchor their narratives about the future in. But with AI reshaping how people enter and grow in a profession, is that promise even true anymore? But we're here to ask: was that promise ever even true to begin with?

These are bonus, bite-sized pieces of conversation that don't end up making it into the final episode, but they are too good to leave on the cutting room floor. In this one: A five-year-old's fascination with submersibles is easy to get curious about. As a parent, it's much harder not to turn it into a career plan. And with senior subject selection season unfolding in schools right now, this bi...
