Careers Ed. But not as you know it.

BECOME has everything schools need to integrate a best practice program that teachers, students and parents love.

Powerful careers education made easy for schools

A scramble for decisions at the end of high school is too little and too late to prepare students for fulfilled lives and careers.

Instead, we need to help young people learn and practice how to explore and navigate aspirations and ideas about careers. This means creating a vision for a whole future that's exciting right now.

BECOME builds students' curiosity about the world of work, boosting their skills and awareness about why and how people work, and the many opportunities open to them.

From primary and up, BECOME provides each age group of students with different ways to explore, navigate and test ideas for their personal future. The result shows in students with the skills, confidence and capacity to drive their learning and their life.

BECOME is recognised by the OECD as an example of Global Effective Practice and digital innovation.

Effective careers education:

  • Is about life-long career management skills, not high-stakes decisions at the end of schooling.

  • Is delivered early, often and integrated across the curriculum.

  • Has a positive impact on academic engagement and student wellbeing.

BECOME IN YOUR CONTEXT

Our primary program is for years 5 & 6, the critical years in which young people's ideas about their identity and where they fit into the world are beginning to get hardwired. BECOME opens up the whole world of possibilities at the same time as exploring what a fully lived life looks like for them. 

Students conduct their own structured inquiry into their current ideas for their future. This inquiry is not designed to make them choose a single path but to help them learn and rehearse agency over their own future.

More for Primary

 

 

BECOME makes it easier for secondary schools to reach students before high stakes decisions are due. By the time students face subject or pathways selection, they will have had the chance to explore broadly, think deeply about themselves and try some ideas on for size. Career conversations are transformed as students become confident to explore, navigate and design their path.

We work with schools in all kinds of context. We customise the BECOME roll-out to fit the needs of each school's program and community. You can see some case studies in this webinar.

Find out more about BECOME for Secondary

 

The BECOME program can be a powerful force when it underpins a whole school approach to student futures from primary all the way up.

Teacher resources are differentiated to keep things fresh at each year level and Scope & Sequence plans are flexibly devised in consultation with the school. Students learn and practise career and life design skills as they repeatedly and actively engage with their future.

Roll out BECOME for each cohort, or plan for multiple dips into BECOME over the years students have with you. You can link the outcomes of BECOME to your school learning goals.

The insights dashboard enables a personalised and proactive approach to student career conversations and gives teachers a real snapshot of where students are at in each cohort, class, or as a whole community.
