Learning for Life - Creating Pathways from Classrooms to Careers

The aim of this Employability and Careers Education Framework is:

- to support the Island’s commitment to life long learning from when children start Primary school into, and through, adulthood.

- to support schools and UCM in delivering key aspects of employability and careers education that will enable learners at different stages and ages to make informed choices about the next steps in their learning and lives.
