Need help deciding?

If you’re unsure of where to start with your career plan or how to decide on your career path, these resources are for you.

Career discovery and planning

Here you’ll find everything you need to help you understand different approaches to career planning, how to generate ideas and help you to move forward with your career thinking.

Career planning is an ongoing process and something that you will do throughout life. You may find that you change and review your career plans as you get to know yourself and as your opportunities and priorities change.

Below we have suggested the order in which to complete the online learning pathways, but you can also select which you feel would be the most helpful to you and start there.
