Work and Education

Work and Education will remain strong topics throughout your life. There are times in your life when you will need to decide what to do next, such as:

  • Making option choices throughout school
  • Deciding what to do after when you leave school
  • What career / job you want to do in the future?

It can be difficult to make the right choice, especially when there are so many options available.

It’s important that you have the right information about each of your choices so that you can make the right decision. Having some career ideas, knowing your options and being aware of what is available to you can help you make an informed decision on which route to take.

Look out for your CareersInc advisers in school for more help and advice when you need it!

Your teachers and learning managers can help you to get in touch to discuss any career related questions that you may have.
