PRE ORDER HARDCOPY Career Education Student Workbook Year 7: Explore

Through a sequence of structured, reflective and skills-based learning tasks, students are supported to develop a strong sense of self, form respectful relationships, adapt to change, and maintain their wellbeing. The activities focus on key transitional moments and personal development milestones, including adjusting to secondary school, managing unexpected challenges and beginning to reflect on their future selves.

Building on students’ growing self-awareness, the workbook broadens their focus to the connections between learning, work, and the wider social and economic world. Students explore how education links to future opportunities and are introduced to the evolving nature of work, including different job types, working arrangements, and the influence of social and economic trends. Learning is positioned as a lifelong process that underpins personal and professional growth.

Across the workbook, learning experiences are exploratory and inquiry-based, encouraging students to think creatively and strategically about their futures. Students are supported to recognise how their personal qualities, learning experiences, and social connections shape their emerging career journeys. The workbook invites students to actively engage with decision-making, transitions, and opportunities, and to begin developing the knowledge, skills and attitudes required to build meaningful and sustainable careers over time.

Overall, this workbook provides a solid foundation for Year 7 students to engage in self-reflection, begin exploring the world of education and work, and take purposeful, initial steps towards shaping their future pathways.
