# What is BECOME?

### The globally recognised, evidence-based approach that is inspiring students to imagine a future that they are excited about - and the skills to make it happen.

 

### BECOME boosts student engagement and agency by ensuring that every person has the time, tools and support to create career aspirations - focusing on the skills they need to actively make their vision for the future happen.

  **Try it for size.**
  
  Students enjoy imagining the future
  
  - but they're learning to think critically about
  
  real aspects of jobs, like where you work
  
  and how people find purpose in careers.
  
   
  
   
  
  **BECOME for Primary**

  **Linked to wellbeing**
  
  Students typically report a
  
  significant boost in confidence
  
  and optimism about the future.
  
   
  
   
  
  **BECOME for Secondary**

### Why we need a new approach

Plenty of career guidance programs simplify the experience -- they aim to get each student as quickly as possible to one decision, one career plan. 

BECOME is exactly the opposite. Yes, we make it simple for teachers, but for students the BECOME experience is open and fun, designed to support them to explore with curiosity. They are developing transferable skills and self-awareness long **before** they are asked to make any commitments.

#### Why do we do it this way?

Because the evidence overwhelmingly shows that over-simplification has huge social and economic costs. High tertiary drop-out rates are just one indicator that young people are following pathways without truly examining whether they're a great fit or not. Large numbers of young people not in education, employment or training are at greater risk of isolation and wellbeing issues.

  **Authentic. **
  
  Students of all ages take charge
  
  presenting careers to each other,
  
  furthering their enthusiasm
  
  and engagement.
  
   
  
   
  
  **A whole-school approach**

  **Tools and resources.**
  
  Students explore over 50,000 careers
  
  in the app. The lessons help teachers and
  
  students shape deep questions about
  
  career ideas.
  
   
  
   
  
  **More about BECOME**

## Early, often and integrated

 

Based on evidence and best practice, BECOME starts early, stays wide open, and focuses on skills rather than pushing a decision. 

#### BECOME supports students to:

- Explore the world of work in its widest form - broadening their awareness of opportunities 
- Understand their unique and changing motivations and interests -  **why** people work
- Build a personal definition of success - not simply following the pack or external pressures
- Connect what they are learning at school to real life - making learning today relevant to tomorrow
- Examine assumptions and preconceptions about careers, such as traditional cultural/social, gender and demographic limits
- Take agency, practising taking active responsibility for their own future so that they are ready to do it when the time comes.

With programs for students from year 5 and up, BECOME meets every student where they are at, helping them develop life-long skills and a vision for the future that inspires them today.

 

## What could BECOME do for your students?

Talk to us about your specific learning goals and student needs, any existing career programs and wellbeing initiatives (BECOME dovetails nicely with many such programs).

We will devise an approach that draws on the power of BECOME to inspire your students across one or many year levels, to take agency for the future and engage in learning today.

#### Primary schools

**

Learning to explore the world of careers openly and with curiosity, younger students develop the capacity to imagine and make active steps towards a future that excites them.

This approach has the effect of inspiring and engaging students in what they are learning today.

#### Secondary schools

**

Older students gain crucial skills to explore and assess career opportunities through experiment and action. They examine emerging motivations, and '**Who** do I want to be in the world?'

Taking charge of their direction typically leads to increased confidence and optimism about the future, and higher perception of the relevance of what they are learning at school.
