Careers curriculum framework

   Use the careers curriculum framework to help develop a local, custom and high quality career development program.

There are six steps in a young person's acquisition of skills for career development. These form the structure of the framework.

Goals at each step are organised into three stages:

  • Self development: young people understand themselves, build their experiences and achievements and develop their capabilities.
  • Career exploration: young people locate, investigate and consider opportunities in learning and future work options.
  • Career management: young people make and adjust career action plans and manage their life choices, changes and transitions.
