Update on the Career education benchmarks

Careers New Zealand has led the development of a set of benchmarks to help schools develop effective practice and deliver high quality career education.  This is a New Zealand first, and an important project for the careers sector and for our country.

Career education is vital to the future well-being of our young people and the economy of New Zealand.  We are all responsible for improving the quality of career education in New Zealand so our young people have the competencies to manage their own careers.  To this end the benchmarks are an important priority for Careers New Zealand.

In this update on the development of the career education benchmarks we cover:

  • A self-review tool for the whole school community
  • Who's been involved in the development of the benchmarks?
  • Your feedback on the draft benchmarks
  • Changes that have been made to the draft benchmarks
  • Next steps.

Thank you to all of you who have been involved in the development and field testing of the draft benchmarks.
