Victoria University was contracted by the Department of Education, Science, and Training to develop a career education elective for pre-service teachers undertaking a Bachelor of Education or a Bachelor of Teaching degree. The project was guided by an Advisory Committee consisting of a representative from the Australian Council of Deans of Education and Career experts.
The goal of this elective is to provide graduates with the skills necessary to educate secondary students in how to:
- access and use a variety of available career information
- access and take advantage of the wide range of post-school pathways open to them
- develop lifelong learning and lifelong career management skills
- understand the world of work - including the interactions between society, work and the local/national/global economy
The elective is now ready for universities to use and is available below
