Assessing for career learning

Students are helped to keep a record of their career learning, i.e. a learning tool

Students are encouraged to reflect and think about themselves, what they want to do in the future, how they can achieve this, i.e. a reflective instrument

Empower students to outline a plan of action which will provide them with direction when they leave school i.e. a career planning tool

Timing: When?
