Job Guide

About Job Guide

Job Guide helps young people explore career options and make subject choices. It gives useful information about how to work out what occupations suit you best, based on your interests and abilities. It aims to help you select the occupation that is right for you and to make sound decisions about any further education or training you may undertake.

By carefully studying this information and applying the techniques described, you can discover and explore various education, training and work options. If you decide that you are ready for work, Job Guide will help you to prepare for job searching. It also tells you what government help is available and provides you with useful contact addresses.

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 2008 course information and advises what subjects may be needed to get into certain 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 training and education options are available at your school because you may be able to get started on an Australian School-based Apprenticeship.
