A pathway to career success
The Career-related Programme is the latest in the International Baccalaureate (IB) suite of qualifications. Adrian Kearney, director of IB World Schools, explains the benefits for globally mobile students who have clear career aspirations.
For families relocating abroad with children, choosing the right school can be a daunting process. There is no substitute for visiting a school in person, to get a feel for the culture and environment and to see the facilities at first hand – although this may not be practical for those who are many miles away. However, asking probing questions of the school will provide a valuable insight into its ethos, its ambitions for its students, and the opportunities and qualifications children have access to. It will also help parents to decide whether it will be the right school for their child.
WHAT CURRICULUM IS RIGHT FOR A RELOCATING CHILD? A popular choice for families when relocating with children is to find an international school teaching either a curriculum from their home country or an international curriculum such as the International Baccalaureate (IB). The clear benefit of choosing an internationally recognised programme is that a child will not be at a disadvantage in the future when moving into higher education, drafting a CV, or applying for their first international role.
WHAT IF A CHILD ALREADY HAS A SPECIFIC CAREER IN MIND?
At 16, many students already have a clear idea of the career they would like to pursue and are looking for hands- on learning and experience in that field. In this case, choosing
an educational offer that caters to this makes sense. Currently, there is only one post-16 qualification that
provides a framework allowing students to develop both vocationally and academically. This is the latest IB offering, the Career-related Programme (CP). Taught in more than 140 different schools in 23 different
countries across the world, the CP engages students with a programme that genuinely interests them and can help them along the path to their chosen career, while arming them with transferable and lifelong skills, such as the ability to work as part of a team, time management skills, and intercultural understanding.
CP students develop rigour through a combination of academic and career-related courses, resulting in a more rounded understanding of
components that develop skills such as communication, problem-solving and responsibility.
