The pupil is expected to be able to

- gather, analyse and use information about education and employment
- explore career opportunities in various ways, and describe different educational pathways and careers they may lead to
- gain knowledge of the workplace by testing, exploring and reflecting on how sustainability goals, conjunctures and technology impact the labour market, occupations and working methods
- discuss consequences of exclusion and awareness of the economic and social value of working at both the individual and social level
- describe what and who can impact career choices and how this affects one's own choices
- explore and discuss gender-related perspectives in career choices
- see the opportunities and transform their own ideas into taking action and making decisions, and reflect with others on the consequences of career choices
- develop and use coping strategies to handle transitions and challenges related to education and careers
- interpret job advertisements, write a CV and job application, and learn how to make a good impression during an interview
Formative assessment
The formative assessment should help promote learning and the development of competence. The pupils demonstrate and develop competence in selection of education when they reflect on their self-development and career learning, and demonstrate sound judgement when discussing ethical dilemmas. The pupils also demonstrate competence in selection of education by describing education and employment opportunities, and using the knowledge to discuss their own future career plans. The pupils develop competence in selection of education when they progressively use different strategies and technical terminology to express their specialised competence, individually and in collaboration with others.
The teacher creates a teaching plan that facilitates learning to highlight the pupil's competence in different ways. Through a variety of learning situations and dialogue with the teacher, each individual pupil becomes aware of what they can master. The pupils receive feedback that enhances learning, and motivates and guides them to work more on the topics of self-development, the education system and employment.
