Pathways

For youth in transition, pathways signify the journeys they make from compulsory education through to independent adulthood. Pathways can include senior secondary education, vocational education and training, an apprenticeship or traineeship, higher education, community education, informal learning, volunteering, leisure and recreation, workplace experience, casual, part-time or full-time employment, and various combinations of the above.

To help young people make informed pathway decisions, they need an understanding of who they are, what they want and how they will get there.

They need information about:

• required skills and qualifications
• available options, programs and courses
• services and supports

My Life My Plan explores a number of pathways, including:

Employment

Alternatives to Employment

Further education and training

Sport, recreation and leisure
