More than 15,000 NSW high school students have had the opportunity to access personalised career guidance, coaching and support to help inspire and prepare them for life after school through the expansion of a NSW Government program.
\u00a0
Premier Dominic Perrottet confirmed the successful Careers NSW program had been trialled in 32 high schools, enhancing existing school-based career services and opening doors for exciting opportunities for students.
\u00a0
\u201cThis program is about empowering students to take control of their future and learn more about the careers that are available when they leave school,\u201d Mr Perrottet said.
\u00a0
\u201cBy providing young people with additional professional careers guidance and connecting them to real industry experts, this program will unlock opportunities and inspire them to secure a brighter future.\u201d
\u00a0
Careers NSW was a key recommendation of the review into the NSW vocational education and training sector led by David Gonski AC and Professor Peter Shergold AC.
\u00a0
The high school trial has helped students explore their interests, skills and possible career pathways, as well as helped to coordinate connections to industry experts and career opportunities.
\u00a0
Younger students participated in group careers exploration sessions, while parents and guardians have been given the opportunity to seek advice from professional careers practitioners about how they can better support their children.
\u00a0
Minister for Skills and Training Alister Henskens said the NSW Government will conduct another two trials next year to inform how Careers NSW can best support students and schools moving forward.
\u00a0
\u201cClose to 100,000 people have already used the Careers NSW website since the adult pilot was established last year, and these trials in high schools allow young people to get their first taste of this whole-of-life careers guidance service,\u201d Mr Henskens said.
\u00a0
\u201cThe Careers NSW trial in high schools complements existing careers advisers, enhancing their ability to deliver quality, professional advice and facilitate industry connections, to help students and parents understand how to aim high and secure a successful career.\u201d
\u00a0
The pilot program follows the expansion of the\u00a0Educational Pathways Program<\/a>\u00a0and the introduction of\u00a0TAFE NSW Launchpad<\/a>, as well as recent changes to the HSC and ATAR that will increase the take-up of vocational education and training in high schools.
\u00a0
Minister for Education and Early Learning Sarah Mitchell said embedding Careers NSW in schools is another example of the NSW Government\u2019s commitment to create stronger pathways from high school to a career.
\u00a0
\u201cCareers NSW will help students explore their future, offering advice and information on everything from traditional trades to new and emerging industries,\u201d Ms Mitchell said.
\u00a0
\u201cThis program will help young people think big and explore the education and employment pathways available to them when they leave the school gates.\u201d
\u00a0
Minister for Customer Service and Digital Government Victor Dominello said Careers NSW was the first service to utilise the Whole of Government online booking system as of February 2022, an initiative of the Government Made Easy program.
\u00a0
\u201cThe online booking system will provide students and parents with a one-stop shop and streamlined experience when booking appointments with careers practitioners through the program,\u201d Mr Dominello said.
