Why study Career Education?

There are many factors that will influence your decision about your future pathway. Developing self-awareness involves learning about your interests, strengths, skills and values. This will enable you to set goals, make plans, put these into effect and identify ways to meet challenges. Exploring opportunities is an important part of forming a Career Plan. It allows you to listen and talk to people about their career pathways and experience for yourself what further education or work might be like. Your transition from school will be made easier if you can make informed decisions based on your own research and experiences.

Career Education classes are flexible so that the needs of individual students can be met. Students study CV and cover letter writing, learn interview skills, communication, employment rights and responsibilities, completing complex forms and more.
