Vocational Pathways

Vocational Pathways Not sure what you want to be? Unclear about you career options? Need help to plan your studies? The Vocational Pathways can help you plan your journey from

learning to earning. They represent a way to achieve NCEA Level 2 (or equivalent) with Vocational Pathways at the same time. You can see how your credits are valued by industry and the types of study options and job opportunities available.

The pathways are flexible and enable you to change your direction as you’re on your journey. You can use Vocational Pathways to plan your career and study options by using the colour coded pathways, and easily see how your skills and interests relate to the industry.

Vocational Profile Your Vocational Profile, on your Record of Achievement shows how your NCEA credits are mapped to the Vocational Pathways. You can use your profile to show employers how your interests and qualifications relate to their industry and support you to do further study, training, or move into work. Check out your Vocational Profile at www.nzqa.govt.nz/login OR log into the Kamar Portal.

NCEA Level 2 with Vocational Pathways NCEA Level 2 (or equivalent) is the minimum qualification that you need to achieve to show that you are ready to enter and progress to further study, training or work. Achieving NCEA Level 2 with Vocational Pathways means you have some interest, knowledge and skills related to industry. It shows you have:

• Achieved the required number of credits to achieve NCEA Level 2 • Achieved the required industry related credits that align with a particular industry • A broad understanding of industry • Interest and skills that relate to a particular industry

5 credits in reading AND 5 credits in writing

PLUS • Numeracy - 10 credits at Level 1 or above, made up of:

achievement standards – specified achievement standards available through a range of subjects, OR unit standards - package of three numeracy unit standards (26623, 26626, 26627- all three required).

Once you have met the requirements for University Entrance it will appear on your Record of Achievement. THIS DOES NOT GUARANTEE ENTRY TO THE DEGREE OR SUBJECTS OF YOUR CHOICE – in many cases, a higher level of achievement will be required. Many degrees at polytechnics, institutes of technology and private training enterprises also require this entry standard. Discretionary entry, which is particularly designed for able students to move to university degree study from Year 12, will require meeting as a minimum the Mathematics and Literacy requirements above, together with high levels of achievement in Level 2 subjects.
