Vocational Pathways provide new ways to achieve NCEA Levels 2 and 3 – the foundation for success in further education and the world of work.
The Vocational Pathways help you see how your learning and achievement will be valued in the ‘real world’ when you look for a job and start your career. Achieving within Vocational Pathways means you have skills and knowledge that employer’s value in their industries.
You can use the Vocational Pathways to see where and how your learning relates to study options and employment opportunities. Visit www.youthguarantee.net.nz to find out more.
