What students are going to cover
In this lesson, students will explore why more young people, especially Gen Z, are considering trade careers instead of traditional university education. They will learn career-related vocabulary, watch and analyse a report about vocational jobs, and discuss the role of social media, AI, job security, and tuition costs in career choices. Through grammar practice focused on modals and past modals, speaking tasks, and a written assignment, students will develop the language needed to express opinions, give advice, and reflect on different paths to professional success.
