Become an IB World School: Career-Related Program
I wanted to be challenged academically and to have an advantage in my first year of university. I also like the idea of learning the same curriculum as people all around the world.

INTRO
The International Baccalaureate® (IB) Career-Related Program (CP) is designed for students aged 16-19. The program leads to higher education, apprenticeships, or employment.
OBJECTIVES
- Gain understanding of the IB Career-Related Programme, including the curriculum, and access and eligibility
- Submit your school’s information for next steps on becoming an IB World School
The CP Curriculum
CP students undertake a minimum of two IB Diploma Program (DP) courses, a core consisting of four components, and a career-related study.
For CP students, DP courses provide the theoretical underpinning and academic rigor of the program; the career-related study further supports the program’s academic strength and provides practical, real-world approaches to learning.
The CP core helps students develop skills and competencies required for lifelong learning.
Pathway to Employment and University Recognition
21st century life places complex demands on graduates looking for work – so enabling students to become self-confident, skilled, and career-ready learners must be an integral part of their education.
Through the CP, students deepen their understanding in general areas of knowledge, engaging in a holistic education model that fosters an enthusiasm for lifelong learning.
Access and Eligibility
The CP was specifically developed for students who wish to engage in career-related learning while gaining transferable and lifelong skills in applied knowledge, critical thinking, communication, and cross-cultural engagement.
