                    Exit Plan Blueprint



Steps to Successful Transition in Life
Transition Planning is Fundamental to Implementing a Career
 +             Development Culture in Schools
    Individual Pathway Plan (IPP): For school students the IPP is a
     plan for how an individual will navigate the curriculum to demonstrate
     career competencies and achieve career development outcomes. The IPP
     is a valuable tool for managing transitions.

    Transition Portfolio: is a student-owned product used to record and
     inform the student’s Transition Planning processes. The opportunity for
     students to develop a portfolio provides early intervention support that will
     give every student the opportunity to develop a skills portfolio document to
     record the development of skills and competencies; and enable all
     education providers to develop the school-community (including business
     and industry) partnerships required to underpin successful early
     intervention and transition strategies.

    Exit Plan: Young people will develop an exit transition plan assisted by
     schools and families, which will outline the strategies for transition to post-
     school destinations including further education, training and employment.

    parents, teachers and mentors and be
    flexible enough to change as life
    experiences, access to information
    and decisions change in the course of
    a young person’s schooling.

   Preparation:
    •   Context: connection to other programs- e.g. The Blueprint
    •   Structure: case management approach- it can not be adhoc
    •   Resources: course selection, career exploration, site visits, guest speakers,
        work placement, the Real Game.
    •   Time: Year 10 version can take up to 7 hours to complete properly, Year 7- 9, 3
        hours, preferably over a day or 2
    •   Staffing: Choice of staff is important – their level of interest / connection with
        the students

   Opportunity for Self Exploration:
    •   Students need to know that they are going to have to look within
    •   They need to understand that its safe to dream

   Opportunity for Self exploration
    •   Set the scene: start where the student is at
    •   Emphasis it is about future planning
    •   Set the tone: students need to be willing, it is about them

   Emphasise Flexibility
    •   Putting pen to paper does not mean that plans cannot change- student
        directions and aspirations may and usually do change

    Transition Planning isFundamental to Implementing a Career + Development Culture in Schools  Individual Pathway Plan (IPP): For school students the IPP is a plan for how an individual will navigate the curriculum to demonstrate career competencies and achieve career development outcomes. The IPP is a valuable tool for managing transitions.  Transition Portfolio: is a student-owned product used to record and inform the student’s Transition Planning processes. The opportunity for students to develop a portfolio provides early intervention support that will give every student the opportunity to develop a skills portfolio document to record the development of skills and competencies; and enable all education providers to develop the school-community (including business and industry) partnerships required to underpin successful early intervention and transition strategies.  Exit Plan: Young people will develop an exit transition plan assisted by schools and families, which will outline the strategies for transition to post- school destinations including further education, training and employment.
