Hong Kong Benchmarks for Career and Life Development (CLD) Online Symposium:
Collection of School Stories

CLAP@JC has entered into its second phase since late 2020 through introducing the Hong Kong Benchmarks for Career and Life Development (HKBM) to the school sector. HKBM is a well-piloted, systematic self-improvement framework for Hong Kong schools to build quality Career and Life Development (CLD) provisions that can be benchmarked with global standards.

In this symposium, our CLAP@JC schools and participants are eager to share their own CLD stories in their HKBM adoption journeys. We hope that all participants would find the important experience sharing useful and insightful in constructing a good CLD-enabling environment for our youths in the 21st century. All stories are particularly suitable for school leaders, career teachers, and those who have interests in promoting quality CLD education in Hong Kong.

HKBM - The Ten Benchmarks

HKBM is a systematic self-improvement framework for schools to build quality CLD provisions that can be benchmarked with global standards. With experience gained from Phase I, it was developed in consultation with CLAP@JC’s global advisor Sir John Holman (the author of UK’s Gatsby Benchmarks) and local educators. The ten guiding principles advisors (or “Benchmarks”) for self-evaluation was derived and piloted in six schools with diverse backgrounds since September 2019. Building on the foundation of the pilot, the HKBM become an integral part of CLAP@JC.
