What Is the Career Practice Hub on Tahatū Career Navigator?

Updated

The Career Practice Hub (Pokapū Tikanga Aramahi) is a section of Tahatū Career Navigator aimed at career practitioners and advisors rather than job seekers or students. According to the site, it holds "activities, strategies, insights and reports that support career guidance, development and best practice." It sits alongside the public tools — the 800+ career ideas, 4000+ qualifications and courses, the Interest quiz, and the Job Hunters' Workbook — but serves a different audience: people who deliver career guidance, not people receiving it.

Who the Hub is for

Use the Hub if your work involves helping others with career decisions — for example, a school careers advisor running a class, a tertiary staff member supporting students, or a community advisor guiding clients. If you are exploring your own career options, the public sections are the better starting point:

What you'll find there

The site describes the Hub's content in four broad categories:

  • Activities — exercises you can run with the people you advise.
  • Strategies — approaches to structuring career guidance and development.
  • Insights — observations and perspectives on career practice.
  • Reports — documented findings and best-practice material.

The page evidence does not list individual Hub resources, so treat the categories above as the scope rather than a catalogue. To see what is currently available, open the Career Practice Hub from the Tahatū home page.

How it fits with the rest of Tahatū

Tahatū (formerly Careers New Zealand) is a government career site. Its public side covers interests and skills, career ideas, study and training, and planning and preparing — including guides on how to apply for study or training, ways to pay, apprenticeships, distance and online learning, learning support, and finding scholarships. The Hub is the practitioner-facing layer on top of that material. A practical use is to draw on public guides when advising someone, then use the Hub for the method behind that advice.
