Career READY

Career Ready will help secondary school students get set for life after school, with career information, training and industry experience. The program focuses on improved support for secondary school students who have career aspirations aligned to priority VET pathways and improved school to work employment transitions and pathways.

Career Ready encompasses a suite of complementary programs supporting students across their secondary schooling to choose the right career and training pathways for them including:

  • Gateway to Industry Schools program
  • new non-accredited Career Tasters for Year 10 students
  • certificate I and II qualifications aligned to VET careers in demand for the economy and informed by industry consultation
  • school-based apprenticeships and traineeships providing strong post-school employment opportunities.

Career Ready will replace the existing Vocational Education and Training in Schools (VETiS) program.
