• To introduce students to the format of MIPs plans

• To commence developing a draft MIPs plan as part of pathways planning for Year 10


9

In Victoria, the Managed Individual Pathways (MIPs) initiative ensures that all students 15 years and over in Government schools are provided with individual Pathway Plans and associated support as a means to continued education, training or full-time employment. MIPs help young people to:

• Make a smooth transition from compulsory schooling to further education, training and employment

• Develop skills to manage their Pathways throughout their working lives

• Develop their knowledge, understanding and experience of opportunities in education, training and employment

Additional support is provided to students at risk of disengaging or not making a successful transition to further education, training or secure employment. Students participating in Youth Pathways programs in TAFE institutes or Adult and Community Education institutions also have Pathways plans.

MIPs plans will vary according to school resources and planning. Examples of MIPs plans can be found at www.education.vic.gov.au.
