Some students will know the exact career and even course that they are working towards, others may not even be sure what industry they would like to explore. The following websites provide some information for students, no matter what stage of planning they are at.

Please note that the websites provided below are only a starting point, and as with any website the content should be cross referenced with other resources for accuracy. If you would like to discuss career pathways please book an appointment with the Guidance Officer.
