Career learning frameworks are planning tools that integrate learning in a career context. These tools are used to guide the development of the student's education plan and learning experiences. The frameworks may also be used to guide the development of programs centered on career learning. Connected to the students' interests and goals, frameworks provide a meaningful and relevant context for learning.

Career learning frameworks describe:

  • A broad grouping of related careers
  • Educational requirements associated with careers in a broadly defined career path.
  • Concepts, issues, knowledge and skills common to careers in the broad career path.
  • Suggested extended applications that reflect roles and expectations common to a broad career path.

Career learning frameworks help students gain a deeper and broader view of their career interests and the expectations required for post high school employment and postsecondary training and education. They provide a context for teachers that connect instruction and curriculum to real world applications. The frameworks provide a common focus for employer and education partnerships, postsecondary connects, and to mobilize community support.
