Job Guide

What’s in it?

Job Guide helps young people explore career options and make subject choices. It provides information about a wide range of occupations and the education and training pathways that lead to them. It also includes useful information on the job search process, provides details of available government assistance and suggests where to go for further information.

Who's it for?

Job Guide is written mainly for Year 10 students. The guide aims to list the most direct education and training pathway to an occupation, which is why combined degrees and postgraduate degrees are not included unless they are specifically required for entry to an occupation.

Will it help me choose my Year 11 and 12 subjects?

Job Guide includes information on the types of courses that may be required to enter certain jobs and advises what subjects may be needed to get into these courses. If you are a Year 10 student, you should check the specific entry requirements of the courses that you are interested in with educational and training institutions before you make subject choices for Years 11 and 12. These requirements may change by the time you are ready to go on to further education or training.

Don’t forget to check what Vocational Education and Training (VET) options are available at your school because you may be able to get started on an Australian School-based Apprenticeship.
