  • Making plans for life after school

    Life after school can feel big, but planning helps you feel more confident and prepared. You can:

    ✅ Think about what you enjoy and what you're good at
    ✅ Explore different jobs and industries
    ✅ Look into courses, apprenticeships, or uni options
    ✅ Talk to your family, teachers, and career counsellor

    Remember, your plan can change as you learn more about yourself and the world of work.

  • To apply for a job, you’ll need a resume and cover letter. There are free tools and templates available to help you get started. Once you have created these and customised them to the role and company you’re looking to apply for, search job listings, look up job hunting tips, and learn how to network to find opportunities.
