Career Planning Tips

​

It's normal to feel unsure or lost about your future after high school. Here are some tips to help you:

​

• Making a choice now is only a starting point. It does not mean you will lock yourself up in one career for life. 

• You will develop your career direction over time - the more you learn about yourself, the world of work, and the more experiences you have, the better equipped you will be to make decisions. 

• Here are a few helpful things you can do to help you develop a career direction:

  • take an active approach to exploring careers, courses and occupations

  • speak to people about their jobs, study and career paths 

  • "try before you buy" - get work experience, volunteer, visit workplaces, talk to people doing jobs you are exploring, etc.

  • attend course information sessions, Open Days, careers expos

  • find out information about the changing nature of work and what the future holds for different industries 

  • stay curious and open to new opportunities 

  • use more than one source of information in your research
