The "Student Focused National Career Education Strategy" was developed in collaboration with a national group that brought together the voices of education, business and industry, parents and carers, career practitioners and youth. To prepare students for their future careers, the strategy focuses on the importance of building the skills and general capabilities they will need in the workplace; strengthening school and employer collaboration; and developing students' career management and navigation skills. The vision is that every student in every school has access to high-quality career education to help them make a successful transition from school to further education, training, work or a combination of these. The high-level style of the strategy is designed to allow flexibility in its use by the broadest range of stakeholders, including school systems, school leaders and teachers, parents and communities, industry and individual employers. It focuses on improving career education in schools by: (1) building teacher and school leader capability; (2) supporting parents and carers in their important role in these conversations; and (3) encouraging collaboration between industry and schools.
