Careers Advisor: A Life In The Week
Mon:I don’t know what I want to beTue: I’d like to be a firemanWed: I’d like to be a doctorThu: I’d like to drive a trainFri: I don’t know what I want to beetcAt some point even the best careers advisor will loose the will to live.
2012: Scottish Government
This mission is aboutadvice and guidance.(supporting people towards a positive destination)
Needed: New Vantage Points
An interactive journey map could be placed online for users to access through the web.
Needed: Dialogue Approach
“Pathway” – A Popular Notion
“Embedded in much Vocational Education and Training discourse and research is the notion of ‘pathways’ between education/training and employment. The use of this term has become so common place and its relevance so deeply assumed, that the meanings and manifestations of such ‘pathways’ are rarely unpacked in policy statements and research recommendations. The importance of ‘pathways’ has become an inarguable and necessary condition…”
McRae-Williams, E. & Guenther, J. (2012) “Pathways: following the highway, taking the scenic route or journeying through the dreaming. “
Illinois Pathways
“The employment landscape is shifting. Education needs to be more relevant to the real world, and resources and investments need to be coordinated in a way that makes sense to industry partners. In order to achieve this, we need complimentary community and state-level approaches for this work. Illinois Pathways was launched in 2012 to respond to the changing education to employment dynamics.”

Classification Structure Examples of Occupations
Developing LD Assets:Additional Classes to Describe Pathway
• Transition (source-target)– Continuous (e.g. experience) or Discrete (e.g. exam
pass)– More experience at same level, or move to higher level
• Cluster (elements)– Educational subject group– Employment group (like SOC)
• Crosswalk (equivalent elements)– A specialised type of “Cluster” for equivalence
Transition Class - Inspiration
http://ontologydesignpatterns.org/wiki/Submissions:EventProcessing [Rinne ,Blomqvist et al, “Event Processing in RDF”]
TransitionEvent Object: Properties
• antecedent [1:1, owl:Class]• precedent [1:1, owl:Class]• timeframe/s [e.g. start, end, duration etc]• probability [to allow for belief networks]• transistionType [education/employment etc]• transistionType [discrete/continuous]• transistionType [specialisation/deeper
experience/jump]

In Summary
• Provision of Linked Data assets for the ‘things’ associate with education and employment advice is underway in various projects
• This involves many stakeholders and will take some time to develop
• A Transition Object and a Cluster Object based on Dulce Light upper level ontology will allow these assets to be linked into queryable ‘pathways’
Conclusion
Linked Data “Pathway” information will lead to the development of scalable services to help individuals see the big picture and explore their own learner journey
