The National Career Education Strategy has been developed by the Australian Government to increase awareness and improve national consistency of career education. The strategy reflects nationally agreed objectives for governments, schools and employers to support provision of high quality career education for all school students. The strategy was endorsed by the COAG Education Council in February 2019.
This strategy builds on previous frameworks and the National Career Development Strategy [available in VOCEDplus at TD/TNC 113.1229], which provides a guide for those involved in career development across a broad range of settings and focuses on lifelong career development for all Australians.
A national group, with the voices of education, business and industry, parents and carers, career practitioners and youth, supported the creation of this strategy. The group identified three areas where leadership could support students to make informed study choices and navigate their future careers: (1) Building students' skills and capabilities for the future, through a planned program of learning, to prepare them for life beyond school; (2) Strengthening collaboration between schools, employers and local communities to improve student engagement with work environments, and support successful transition to further education, training and work; and (3) Students having the career management and navigation skills needed to make informed career decisions throughout their working lives.
