Overview

This unit describes the skills and knowledge to investigate future study or employment pathway options, establish learning goals, and create a formal pathway plan, including skills development to access investigated pathways. Future pathway plans will be developed in discussion with an appropriate support person. It requires the ability to research and identify future study or employment pathways, develop a learning plan to support identified pathways and compile a learning portfolio of supporting evidence over time. This unit applies to those with future personal, learning, employment and/or community participation goals. Learners at this level work autonomously and use and evaluate a broad range of support resources.

Assessment

For Melbourne campuses

Assessment tasks will be designed to reinforce and extend knowledge and skill competence within set and controlled parameters in accordance with each unit’s learning outcomes and performance criteria requirements, including the setting of work based practical application tasks designed to provide evidence of competence outcomes, within periodic and scheduled timelines.

Students will be expected to demonstrate the following required skills:

  • source and interpret information about potential study/employment pathways
  • gather and use information to support development of the plan
  • participate in discussions to develop a study/employment pathway plan
  • review and revise plan
  • identify and select content for portfolio
  • evaluate own skills against identified goals
  • organise content for study/employment portfolio
  • monitor progress towards achievement of identified goals

Students will also be expected to demonstrate the following knowledge:

  • how a future pathway plan supports pathway options
  • factors which can support or present barriers to achievement
  • methods to self assess own skills and knowledge
  • different learning approaches to support achievement of study goals.
