The National Careers Institute has launched a careers website aimed at supporting secondary school students to make decisions about their future careers.
The schooltowork website was developed as part of Future Ready: A Student Focused National Career Education Strategy, giving students access to career education and higher education pathways.
Minister for Employment, Skills, Small and Family Business, Michaelia Cash said the resources helped students to make more informed decisions about their career options after school and where a VET qualification could take them.
“Deciding what to do when you finish school is an exciting but daunting time,” Senator Cash said.
“We want young people to know about all their learning and career options so they can choose something that suits them,” she said.
She said the resource was developed in partnership with State and Territory education departments, industry and career education groups.
“It’s vitally important they are able to make informed choices and are made aware of all the possible career outcomes available through an apprenticeship or VET qualification,” Senator Cash said.
The website includes toolkits to support school and industry partnerships; articles for parents to have conversations about post-school studies and apprenticeships; and examples of transition programs supporting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students.
