Timeline

The implementation of the actions is staggered across two years.

Some actions are foundational – meaning they need to be delivered early as their outputs are required before other actions can be started.

The focus for the first six months will be:

  1. Establish a cross-agency leadership function
  2. Stand-up the monitoring framework of the agencies
  3. Develop criteria for quality careers education, information, advice and guidance (CEIAG).

Implementing the Action Plan

The implementation of the Strategy and its Action Plan is an all-of-government piece of mahi.

As a leader of the careers system, and kaitiaki of the Strategy, the Tertiary Education Commission (TEC) will be leading, coordinating and monitoring the implementation of the actions.

The responsibility for implementing the actions sits across several agencies with key roles in the careers system. The Action Plan lays out who the lead agencies for each workstream are – and also notes that whilst those agencies may have ultimate responsibility for the actions, many other stakeholders will feed into the work.

Next steps

TEC will lead and coordinate the Strategy’s cross-agency implementation and will communicate regularly with the Strategy’s stakeholders via our newsletter, providing progress updates and opportunities to work together.

One of the first steps is the development of a governance framework which sets out how the strategic and operational decision-making for the Strategy’s implementation will function. We will be consulting on this shortly and will share the agreed framework as soon as we can.
