The role of schools in helping young people plan for their lives is expanding, particularly as a result of the QCE and the SET Plan process.
Students rely on advice from teachers and counsellors to make informed choices about their post-school experience.
The ABCD is a tool that may be used to help them understand themselves and their career development journey.
The seminar will provide opportunities for participants to learn about and discuss topics relating to many aspects of the ABCD, the SET Planning and Career Education processes, and issues affecting student’s choices while at school.
