What is the Career Maps and Pathways Project?

 
A joint initiative of ATTTO and the Hospitality Standards Institute (HSI) and funded by the Tertiary Education Commission (TEC), the Career Maps and Pathways project identifies the information needed by people looking for career options in the hospitality, aviation, tourism, travel and museums sectors. 

When completed, this project will provide a mechanism to show people where to start on a career in these industries. It highlights a map of the current jobs available, the qualifications required, and indicates other sectors a job can take them to. It also provides basic information about what it may be possible to earn now and in the future.

The information gathered goes beyond what might be found in existing qualification or career information, in that it not only describes what jobs are available, but also links these jobs into career pathways. It also maps how these career pathways move across the different sectors, making it easier for learners and job seekers to understand the transferability of their skills. 

The Career Map will provide information on how to gain a job with its necessary skills in one sector - and then show the alternative career paths, within the wider sectors of hospitality and tourism. It will also show them what skills and training they will need to progress their career prospects in their current job

The project is being managed by New Zealand consultancy Projects International. The final report outlining the detailed career maps and pathway options available will be completed in October 2008.

July Project Update 

Regional Forums - registration now open!

Have your say about careers development in aviation, tourism, travel, museums and hospitality. Registrations are now open to participate in the Career Maps and Pathways regional forums.

These forums are an invaluable opportunity for all those who train in the workplace and provide education and training in these industries to come together and contribute to the way careers will be defined in the future.

Information has been gathered since March this year on the job roles that exist across these sectors, the current qualifications needed to prepare people for these jobs and where these qualifications are available.

The regional forums will look closely at the information gathered to determine the accuracy of career paths and maps across the sectors, evaluate current job qualification provision and identify the gaps or issues in both job training and qualifications provision. 

The objective is to help these sectors provide useful information for attracting people to our industries. It will show a wide range of learners, young and mature jobseekers, career changers and those needing further training to improve work performance, that long term career prospects are a real and attractive part of our industries.

Material will be sent to registered participants a week prior to the workshops, with the opportunity to respond on the day of attendance.
