Careers and Tertiary Education

Schools provide young people with access to career teachers who can help them to understand their options when leaving school, and to navigate the available pathways from secondary school to further education, training and employment.  Each secondary school also has a Managed Individual Pathways program (MIPS) for all students in the post-compulsory years.
