What are Vocational Pathways? The Vocational Pathways are a tool that provides a clear framework for vocational options, support better careers advice and improve the links between education and employment. The six pathways represent a new way to structure and achieve NCEA Level 2 and provide a better framework for foundation education and training. All programmes in this booklet are colour coded and matched to Vocational Pathways and will assist students to develop their own education plan based on programmes offered here in Whanganui. Further information regarding Vocational Pathways can be found at https://www.careers.govt.nz/courses/still-at-school/vocational-pathways/ or take a look at Occupation Outlook http://occupationoutlook.mbie.govt.nz/ and download the App.
