Employers who arrive ready.
From September 2026, careers and work-related experiences are a legal requirement under Curriculum for Wales. Ask The Owl® gives the businesses who visit you a bilingual, curriculum-mapped session for their sector, so you don't have to write it for them.
Beth gewch chi · What you get
No more "just talk about your job".
Every visitor brings the same well-built session, adapted with their own people and roles.

Young people solve Wales's skills gaps themselves. Every student finds their owl, teams put their idea to the Cylfaa panel, and the winning idea gets funded and built for real.
Any year group, primary or secondary. Run it for a day, a term or a year: whatever fits your school. Free to schools, funded by local businesses.
