Understanding and developing myself1. I know who I am and what I am good at
2. I interact confidently and effectively with others
3. I change, develop and adapt throughout my life
How do you develop these already?
How could you develop these further?

Example
An adult learning provider working with adults with learning difficulties developed a toolkit of resources to help learning advisers and tutors facilitate initial assessment and person-centred planning.
Through improved understanding of themselves and their learning needs, learners are empowered to make their own informed decisions

Exploring life, learning and work
4. I learn throughout my life 5. I find and utilise information and the support of others 6. I understand how changes in society, politics and the
economy relate to my life, learning and work 7. I understand how life, learning and work roles change
over time
How do you develop these already?
How could you develop these further?

Example
City of Wolverhampton College used the Blueprint to help foundation learners to develop career resilience, to build confidence and to set goals.
The relevant career learning competencies were integrated into an existing career development programme to help to sharpen the outcomes of the intervention.

Developing and managing my career8. I make effective decisions relating to my life, learning
and work
9. I find, create and keep work
10. I maintain a balance in my life, learning and work that is right for me
11. I plan, develop and manage my life, learning and work
How do you develop these already?
How could you develop these further?

Example
The career guidance staff at an FE college organise an annual career and progression event.
These events are used to challenge preconceived ideas held by learners from stereotyping. For example, on one occasion, the work of a successful former female student was included in a talk by a university on transport design.

Is this just another thing to worry about? Career management skills can be integrated into
wider learning Developing career management skills doesn’t
necessarily involve increasing provision The Blueprint offers a framework of learning
objectives that can be aligned with other learning objectives
The Blueprint also provides a framework for different professional groups to work holistically.

Using the Blueprint
You are free to use the Blueprint as you please and to adapt it.
You may find it useful in providing evidence of a coherent policy for Ofsted, Matrix and other quality frameworks.
