Helping students, graduates and young people at the start of their careers to find their career direction. Hi there, Welcome to our latest careers newsletter, designed to help the parents, students, graduates and young people at the start of their career to have better career conversations and navigate the challenges of finding the right career and getting the right career advice. New Career Guidance Programs to steer university selection and career conversations ![]() This time of year is a very important one for year 12 students. University applications are due in less than six weeks and students are trying to figure out what they want to study and where, or whether university is even the right path for them. With research showing over 30% of university students fail to complete their degree within six years, it is important they make the right course selections. Otherwise, they’ll be left with nothing to show for their time at university - other than a HECS debt. As a parent, you play an important role in these conversations. According to CICA, 75% of students believe their parents are the biggest influence on their career choices. Are you offering the best advice based on the new world of work?

We have a range of career coaching and guidance programs designed to help students identify their ‘career personality’ and the roles they are most suited to. We also provide tips for parents to help start career conversations at home, ask them the right questions and guide them on their career journey.
