This review aimed to identify the tenets of best practice in career education and development within Australian schools. Analysis of 13 articles revealed that career education and development is increasingly recognised as the critical transitional mechanism for young people. An embedded, whole-school approach with services tailored to the individual, school, community and culture was a central theme. Furthermore, one-on-one counselling by appropriately resourced and qualified professionals, provision of experiential learning opportunities, and the inclusion of activities aimed at inspiring students and equipping them with the skills of forethought, reflection, flexibility and decision-making were also critical. Designing a perfect model of delivery or theoretical framework is untenable, but identifying attributes of exemplary practice provides a basis for improvement and adaptation to students and contexts with differing needs. Opportunities for future research are also discussed briefly.

确定澳大利亚中学职业教育和发展的最佳实践

本次审查旨在确定澳大利亚学校职业教育和发展的最佳实践原则。对13篇文章的分析表明，职业教育和发展越来越被认为是年轻人的关键转型机制。以个人、学校、社区和文化为中心的嵌入式、全校式服务是一个中心主题。此外，由资源充足且合格的专业人员提供一对一咨询、提供体验式学习机会以及开展旨在激励学生并使他们具备前瞻性、反思、灵活性和决策技能的活动也很重要。设计一个完美的交付模型或理论框架是站不住脚的，但确定示范性实践的属性为改进和适应具有不同需求的学生和环境提供了基础。还简要讨论了未来研究的机会。
