Free Computing Careers/Pathways Display

23/1/2020

Being as careers appears to be high on the education agenda recently, I decided to put together a display which can be used in classrooms to highlight the pathways from Year 7 all the way into a select number of careers. It's not designed to be a super informative infographic, literally something which is useful to have, starts a conversartion and clearly shows the fact you have clear paths through school into technology based careers.

Here's one I made earlier... </Bluepeter>

It's designed to be printed out at size A0 using a plotter and the file is available to download below. A few notes if you want to use it yourself:

All elements can be customised, the only images are the individual traffic sign icons, the signs themselves are editable
All text can be changed to reflect your options/pathways/careers that you want to highlight
All colours are accurate, from the colour codes available here
You will need to install the "transport" font to get the correct typeface. This is an open source font, available below
There are SVG versions/examples of all road signs available on wikipedia
Please leave the website link at the bottom of the display

To create new "signs" to add to your display, don't bother trying to grab an image or SVG and then adding text over the top, you'll never quite get what you're after. Instead use rounded rectangles and add text to them, then set the colours using the RGB colour codes available as linked above.

Hopefully some of you will find this useful. If you don't have a plotter, you can go thoroughly old school and get publisher to print it out as a series of smaller pages that you can then tape together. I'd suggest laminating them first if you go down this route!
