A new way to present NCEA results is now available to students on the NZQA website.
The Vocational Pathway Award has been developed so students can more easily show prospective employers the qualifications they have and how they relate to work in a certain industry.
Rather than a long list of NCEA qualifications, the award provides a quick snapshot of students’ success in one of six Vocational Pathways: Primary Industries, Construction and Infrastructure, Manufacturing and Technology, Social and Community Services, Services Industries and Creative Industries.
Vocational Pathways enable students and teachers to shape their learning programmes to meet industry needs and guides students into further education or employment.
To achieve the NCEA Level 2 Vocational Pathways Award, students must have achieved NCEA, with 60 credits gained in a Vocational Pathway of their choice, including 20 sector related credits.
