Worksheets and Activities
A series of worksheets and activities have been designed to develop the career management competencies of learners. These resources have been gathered from people working in a variety of settings during the Blueprint Trial period and have been adapted to the refined framework. However, the resources have not been reformatted as they do not form part of the suite of tools formally agreed to by Federal, State and Territory Governments.
You may be able to use them as is or, more likely, you may adapt them to meet the needs of your particular learners. Worksheets and activities have been categorised under each of the three learning areas of the Blueprint framework.
