What is careers education?

It is about understanding the world of work — not simply naming job titles.

Careers education helps young people understand different careers, industries and pathways available to them, while developing the knowledge, skills and confidence to make informed decisions about their next steps.

It helps young people connect their own interests and strengths to real options, understand what different routes actually involve, and build the awareness they need to plan ahead with confidence.
