3 Career Education Pathways 2020
This booklet aims to help support our students to ensure they are able to build on
their Career management competencies and have the necessary skills to
transition effectively into the world of work or further tertiary study.
There are three career management competencies:
Developing self- awareness: Competencies that enable young people to
understand themselves and the influences on them.
Exploring Opportunities: Competencies that enable young people to investigate
opportunities in learning and work, and relate them to themselves.
Deciding and Acting: Competencies that enable young people to make and
adjust their plans, to manage change and transition, and to take appropriate
action.
To support the decision-making process there are two evenings you might wish to
attend.
The first is the Pathways Information Evening where tertiary providers will
display their learning pathways and answer any questions.
Date: Thursday 25 July 2019
Time: 5.30pm – 7.30pm
Venue: Marjory Adams Hall
The second is the Course Information and Options Selection Evening where
teachers will be available to discuss programmes being offered in 2020:
Date: Wednesday 31 July 2019
Time: 6.00pm-7.30pm
Venue: Marjory Adams Hall
Other useful tools for helping students develop self-awareness and explore
opportunities are Career Central, an online career development management
portfolio with a number of career research mechanisms and online career tools,
the Vocational pathways posters which show the pathways available from
different learning areas and the Profile Builder which is part of the Vocational
pathways award system and enables Year 12 and 13 students to check that their
school subjects meet the recommended industry sector standards for their
intended career pathways. Please read the separate sections on these to gain
further information.
4 Career Education Pathways 2020
CAREER CENTRAL
Students at Year 11 are using Career Central in their PE/Health classes, but all
students at EGGS can access this. All students have a unique logon using their
student ID and their Kamar password. Students are able to research career
pathways, complete activities to identify their strengths, values, interests, and
skills, set goals, write CV’s and much, much more. Students are also able to see
the notes and share them with you from career conversations with of the schools
two qualified Career practitioners: either Ms Lila Pulsford or Ms Philippa Leask.
We are interested in assisting our students to develop their self-awareness as a
way of finding a pathway that is best suited to them.
WHERE TO?
Our recommendation is that students select a subject because they enjoy it and
can see several pathways that they may be interested in rather than focussing on
one. The “putting all your eggs in one basket” approach can be quite stressful, if
they don’t fulfil all the criteria, or they change their mind. It is also good to look at
all the levels of ability so they can see that no matter what level they personally
are at that there is a pathway for them.
The Career Centre is open to all students at EGGS, and assists students to
develop their lifelong career competencies. Students are encouraged to develop
self-awareness as well as opportunity awareness. Our goal is for students to feel
hopeful and positive about their future opportunities, we encourage our students
to consider wide, and diverse career interests knowing that every career is of
value.
Every Year 13 students at EGGS is invited to engage with the Career Centre; all
students are welcome to see the careers staff by request.
If you would like to make an appointment to see either Ms Pulsford or Ms Leask,
please email cyoung@apps.eggs.school.nz.

13 Career Education Pathways 2020GUARANTEED ENTRY SCORE RANK SCORE CALCULATIONS
A Rank Score has been added to the New Zealand University Entrance requirement to
enable universities to select students into courses. The universities who currently use
this score or a Guaranteed Entry Score are The University of Auckland, AUT, Victoria
University, Massey University, Canterbury University and the University of Otago.
Please note that Otago, Massey and Canterbury have added the rank score as a series
of guaranteed entry points that students can obtain prior to applying. It may be
possible to gain entry with basic UE but the Rank Score gives them guaranteed or
preferential entry.
Also note that individual degree programmes may have specific additional subject
and/or level requirements. Year 13 students should aim to take at least 4 approved
subjects for University Entrance to keep their options open. This means that Year 11
and 12 students need to plan subject pathways ahead so that they are able to take at
least 4 approved subjects in Year 13.
Rank Score is based on the following:
Top 80 credits in up to 5 approved subjects X 2 for Achieved = 160 points
X 3 for Merit = 240 points
X 4 for Excellence = 320 points
The University of Auckland also has the Table A and B system for some of
their programme entry criteria requirements. Commerce, Architecture, Health
Sciences, Nursing, and Property. Please check the specific faculty requirements.

University of Auckland Academic English language requirement
All students who are interested in applying to a degree course at The University of
Auckland will need to meet the following requirement in order to be offered an
unconditional place at the University:
● A minimum of 17 credits in English at Level 2 and/or 3
If an applicant does not meet this requirement, they will have a further opportunity to
strengthen their preparation in this key competency while undertaking the initial stage
of their degree studies. Otherwise qualified applicants who do not meet this standard
will still be admitted to the University but their ongoing enrolment will be conditional
on passing a specified for-credit course in academic English in their first year of
university study.

23 Career Education Pathways 2020OTHER ADMISSION SCHEMES
Many tertiary providers offer alternative pathways that are designed to bridge the gap
between secondary school studies and tertiary education. These include English language
preparation courses, general foundation courses and foundation courses designed for
specific faculties.
Institutions are also committed to providing equal opportunities to all who have the
potential to succeed at tertiary level and have a range of admission schemes to improve
access for equity groups such as students from lower socioeconomic backgrounds,
refuges, students with disabilities and Maori and Pacific Island students.
For many Australian universities Level 3 English is a prerequisite as is the need
for excellence in some courses. There are exceptions so please check Australian
university websites in advance.
To find out more:
● Come to the Pathways Information Evening on Thursday 25 July where a variety
of tertiary providers will be present.
● Come to the Options Evening on Wednesday 31 July
● Visit the Career Education Centre to gather hardcopy information and speak to the
Career education staff.
● Look up the profile builder on the Youth guarantee website
24 Career Education Pathways 2020VOCATIONAL PATHWAYS
Vocational Pathways give a new and clearer framework for vocational options and
programmes. The pathways help students thinking about their future options to see
which subjects and standards they should study to achieve their career goals. They are
designed to improve relevance of learning for students, support programme design and
careers advice, and improve the links between education and employment. The
Vocational Pathways have been developed through a partnership between government
agencies, the industry training sector, secondary and tertiary educators, and industry
and employer representatives.
25 Career Education Pathways 2020Achieving credits towards Vocational Pathways means students are developing foundation
skills and knowledge in areas that employer’s value. Students can work towards the
vocational pathway(s) by gaining credits from the achievement standards and unit
standards recommended by the sectors. The Vocational Pathways will also make it easier
for prospective employers and others to see when students have the strengths, abilities
and qualities they are looking for.
