Why the Learner Passport?

Efforts to better help young people transition to post-school pathways through a Learner Passport, a Portrait of a Graduate, or similar model, is fast gaining traction globally. Unlike singular score-based assessments, the Learner Passport enables an expanded definition of student success, spanning core academic knowledge and skills, as well as a range of other competencies gained through formal, informal and non-formal education that are critical across education, employment, and life.

Particularly for marginalised groups, the Learner Passport promotes equity and social mobility, creating a more even playing field for success. The Learner Passport enables recognition of learners’s skills and helps them optimise their strengths through:

  • Recognition of their experience and achievements and ability to contribute their own evidence
  • Helping them to reflect, curate, set goals and make plans to transition to further education or employment

Stakeholder Benefits

Who is the Learner Passport For?

School districts, Departments of Education, secondary schools, government authorities and business and community groups (among others) will be interested in the Learner Passport for the education and employment support it provides to the next generation of workers.

The Learner Passport is typically introduced to the learner while they are enrolled in secondary school. They start to develop their learner agency by collecting digital credentials and building out their portfolio and profile. 

Once they graduate, learners retain ownership and control over their Learner Passport and can continue to build upon it throughout their career. 

As the nature and availability of jobs shifts and changes, the Learner Passport can enable and support lifelong learning, helping to map and plan the work and study opportunities that align with their interests and career pathways, contributing to long-term equity and success.
