How schools use Career Central
As a differentiated careers programme
Career Central offers schools the ability to differentiate the programme for different year levels. This means that year 9’s will see pages/modules relevant to them and as they move through to year 12 more and more pages can become visible.
Schools can customise what appears on each page which not only allows for differentiation based on age but also for tailored customisation to suit your school culture.
Each year students update the information they have already added to their profiles and new pages become visible to them.
To empower school-wide career education
Career Central empowers non-careers staff to have career discussions with students. The list below shows some of the times schools engage with Career Central.
Social Studies (Year 9 & 10)
English & Health Class
Group / Form / Registration classs
Study Periods
Career Counselling

To support continuity of careers education
When staff change at a school it is easy for information and knowledge to become lost. Career Central provides a place for all career related information to be stored. This means new staff can pick up where the previous person left off.
Student career profiles provide information about students interest and intentions and how they have changed over the years. Having this information at your fingertips makes it easier to build a relationship with students and means you have a starting point for career and academic discussions.
