Level Up equips teaching teams and students with the clarity and confidence to hack the future — mana motuhake in action.

WHY IT MATTERS

Uncertainty about the future of mahi is creating overwhelm for students, teachers, and schools. Many lack the language, direction, and tools to prepare ākonga for a rapidly changing world.

“39% of workers’ existing skill sets will be transformed or become outdated between 2025–2030.” — WEF 2025

For stretched careers teams, the Career Development Benchmarks can feel like just another tick-box task. Level Up turns that tick box into an opportunity to create genuine impact for ākonga — setting schools up for ongoing careers engagement and higher levels of classroom teacher involvement.

We are pleased to share the evaluation report from the Level Up pilot. The findings draw on student and kaiako voice across Years 9 and 10, highlighting impact, engagement, and areas for refinement.

The results were strongly encouraging across all key measures, particularly in building understanding of Te Ao Mahi, The Future of Mahi, strengthening skills awareness, and increasing confidence about the future.
