VocationalPathways

WhataretheVocationalPathways?

The Vocational Pathways provide new ways to achieveNCEA Level 2 – the foundation for success in furthereducation and the world of work. The pathways helpstudentsseehowtheirlearningandachievementisvaluedinthe‘realworld’byaligningtheNCEALevel2AssessmentStandardsincludingspecific‘sector-related’standardswithsixindustries:

• Primary Industries • Services Industries • Social & Community Services • Manufacturing & Technology • Construction & Infrastructure • Creative Industries These six pathways represent ways to structure and

achieve NCEA Level 2 by providing a more coherent framework for foundational vocational education;students can develop their own individual education plans, are better informed and able to make betterchoicestomeettheirgoals.

Governmentagencies, the industry trainingsector, secondaryand tertiary representativesand industryandemployer representativesworked together todevelop the sixVocationalPathways forNCEALevel2 as thefoundation of the journey to employment. These groups are now in the process of developing pathwaysthroughqualificationsachievedinNCEALevel3andbeyond.

WhatisaVocationalPathwaysAward?

The award enables employers to assess whether potential employees’ skills align with their industryrequirementsmoreeasily.

ToreceiveaVocationalPathwaysAward,studentsmustfirstgainNCEALevel2,whichis60creditsfromLevel2 and 20 credits from any other level; 80 credits in total. 10 of these 80 credits must satisfy the literacyrequirements, and 10 of these 80 credits must satisfy the numeracy requirements. To get a VocationalPathways Award, 60 of the Level 2 credits must be from the recommended standards in one or morepathways, including20 Level2 credits fromsector related standards.A learner canachievemore thanoneVocationalPathwaysAward.

The Vocational Pathways Award(s) will be awardedto students on their NZQA Record of Achievement.Thiswillbearealadvantagewhentheylookforworkandtrainingopportunitiesinthesector.

Learners can see their Vocational Pathways AwardwhenevertheylogintoNZQA.
