The IB is celebrating 10 years of the Career-related Programme (CP). Learn how to get involved below and celebrate together.
The CP was introduced as a trial in 2012 within 27 schools around the world. This followed an initial pilot that started in Finland in 2006. Renamed from ‘Career Certificate’ to the Career-related Programme (CP) in 2014, there are now 310 schools offering the CP across 48 countries internationally.
Schools all over the world can adapt the CP to their cultural and environmental needs, making it accessible and applicable to all communities. CP students gain transferable and lifelong skills in applied knowledge, critical thinking, communication, and cross-cultural engagement – leading them towards higher education, apprenticeships, and employment.

"What our CP pioneers loved most about this programme is that all subjects and classes that they studied were connected to the career they wanted to pursue. So even though the workload was heavy, it did not feel as stressful because all the learning experiences were very relevant and meaningful to them."
– Al-Rayan International School (ARIS), Accra-Ghana
"It articulates our school mission. It’s the school’s effort to provide a high-quality education by providing a continuum curriculum and facilitating the students’ diverse needs, talents, and interests."
