Vocational Pathways help students see how their learning is valued in the real world by aligning standards that can be achieved through NCEA with six industries.

The six pathways are:

• Construction and Infrastructure
• Creative Industries
• Manufacturing and Technology
• Primary Industries
• Services Industries
• Social and Community Services

At Level 2 a Vocational Pathways Award rewards students who achieve 60 level 2 credits from the recommended assessment standards.

Students, family, and whānau can map their continuous journey of learning and earning. Using the Vocational Pathways they can:

• Identify pathways to achieve the skills and competencies valued by employers.
• Find out their job or career options.
• Find out which standards are valued by employers within each pathway.
• Build their own Vocational Profile to plan and track their achievement.
• Show how they are progressing towards achieving NCEA level 2.
• Identify university subjects that would fit well with their pathway.
