Vocational Pathways and HVHS

Your son/daughter may receive a Vocational Pathways Award with their Level 2 or 3 NCEA results. Vocational Pathways help identify the skills and learning a young person has achieved that could relate to different employment sectors. The pathways have been designed to enable students to be better informed when making choices for their school subjects and future career or education goals.

 

In order to earn a Vocational Pathway Award, students will need NCEA Level 2, including Level 1 Literacy and Numeracy requirements. Of the credits they achieve, they require a minimum of 20 from the same sector pathway to get an award.

 

There are six Sector Pathways that make links between assessment and industries clearer.

The Sectors are:

·        Primary Industries

·        Services Industries

·        Social & Community Services

·        Manufacturing & Technology

·        Construction & Infrastructure

·        Creative Industries

 

 The student?s individual Pathway graph can be accessed when they log in to the NZQA website using their personal log in details.  http://www.nzqa.govt.nz .

 To find out more detail about the different sectors go to http://youthguarantee.net.nz/vocational-pathways .

  

The school team are excited about the personalised career information this puts in front of the students to help them identify their strengths.

 

The vocation information assists with, but should not dominate, students? subject selections. The aim of the Ministry?s Vocational Pathways is to open students? eyes to the range of opportunities available to them.
