As secondary students move into the last few years of school there are various decisions that need to be made related to subject and career path choices.
Often these can be daunting and it is during this time that parent engagement is particularly critical. Parents working alongside schools to encourage students to explore the various options without being too overwhelmed is an important time during these final years of school. It is a time when students need to explore their passions and work out what they would like to pursue as a potential career based on their interests and goals.

Whilst there is alot of emphasis on going straight to university, there are many pathways for students to take, including TAFE. We also know that many adults now change their careers multiple times so it's important to get started on something that interests them and not be too stuck on the idea that what they choose is for life.

The Victorian State Government recently launched free TAFE courses to encourage more students to explore further study in the TAFE sector. The video below explains the free courses and what is offered for students.

The Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority also lauched a GET VET program to broaden awareness of the options students have to pursue many various career paths through VET programs in schools.
