CPaBL

Creating Pathways and Building Lives (CPaBL), was an initiative for building a school-wide approach to career education, which took place in 100 secondary schools nationwide during the 2007 and 2008 school years. Based on evidence from the successful Designing Careers pilot, the aim of CPaBL was to embed sustainable systems and practices that allow effective careers advice to occur, via a whole-school approach.
