CAREERS
Career Action Plans
Years 10 and 11
Over the last two weeks, students in Years 10 and 11 have been asked to reflect on their personal and work related skills, reflect on goals that they had last year and make educational and work related goals for the rest of this year, in a Career Action Plan.
Career Action Plans help young people to develop their awareness and understanding of education, training and employment options, and to develop the skills, knowledge and capabilities to effectively manage their careers and transitions throughout their lives. The development of a Career Action Plan is designed to assist young people to set their goals, to clarify the actions needed to achieve these goals, and to commit to participating in planned activities.
Parents are welcome to log on to Compass and access their child’s Career Action Plan. This can be found under the Insights tab. Parents are encouraged to comment on their young person’s Career Action Plan.
At the upcoming Managed Individual Pathway days (Monday 7 and Tuesday 8 August), staff will check students Career Action Plans and explore post secondary pathways and aid in the course selection process.
