Learning & Teaching Careers Resources

Career education assists young people to make informed decisions about their future. These resources can be used by career educators to assist young people in their career development.

• Careers and Transition Resource Kit - a series of lesson plans and resources designed to assist career educators to deliver quality programs for students from Year 6 to Year 10
• The Real Game Series - a series of career and life skills education programs from Year 3 to Year 12 to help students see the connection between school studies and life after school.
• myfuture - an Australian online career exploration and information service useful for students, parents, careers practitioners and other adults.

More information

For more information about careers, see:

• Glossary of career related terminology - can be copied for each student. Alternatively teachers may encourage students to develop a personal record of terms and definitions associated with their career journey and the world of work.
• Related careers web sites - useful web sites that may be used in different lessons.
