What is the Blueprint?

The Australian Blueprint for Career Development is a framework for designing, implementing and evaluating career development programs for young people and adults. At its core, the Blueprint identifies the skills, attitudes and knowledge that individuals need to make sound choices and to effectively manage their careers.

Review of the Australian Blueprint for Career Development

The 2012 review of the Australian Blueprint for Career Development (the Blueprint) was undertaken by Atelier Learning Solutions to examine the effectiveness of the Blueprint, its relevance to users and whether it is delivering the intended outcomes. The review included extensive consultation with states and territories, including policy and curriculum areas in the government, Catholic and Independent schooling sectors, as well as key stakeholders in the career development industry.  Data informing the review report was gathered through an online survey and targeted interviews with identified stakeholders. The report arising from the review is now available for download.
