Vocational Pathways

What are the Vocational Pathways?

The Vocational Pathways provide new ways to achieve within NCEA Level
2 – the foundation for success in further education and the world of work.
The pathways help students see how their learning and achievement is
valued in the ‘real world’ by aligning the NCEA Level 2 Assessment
Standards including specific ‘sector-related’ standards with six industries:

These six pathways represent ways to structure and achieve NCEA Level 2
by providing a more coherent framework for foundational vocational
education; students can develop their own individual education plans, are
better informed and able to make better choices to meet their goals.

What is a Vocational Pathways Award?

                                                          The Vocational Pathways Award(s) will be awarded to students
                                                          on their NZQA Record of Achievement. This will be a real
                                                          advantage when they look for work and training opportunities
                                                          in the sector.
