Vocational Pathways

			The six new Vocational Pathways are designed to improve the relevance of learning for students by indicating how their learning and achievement is valued by broad sectors of the workforce. Each has been colour coded for ease of recognition to help students, parents, whānau and teachers planning study programmes

			Pathways are a way of looking at the subjects students are taking at school and where they may lead to in the future either in training/tertiary or the workforce.

			Below is an example of what will be shown for each student and how their subjects relate to the six pathways. Students and parents will then get an idea of where subjects may lead to and what interests the students may have:
