Preparing students
for future work
We provide full-time Careers and VET support, integrating career planning into every year group.
From interest quizzes and resume workshops to work placement and tertiary advice, we equip students to confidently choose their pathways whether they be university, trade, work or further study.
To help students prepare for the future of work, St Edward’s College employs a full-time Careers Adviser and Vocational Education and Training Leader of Learning, dedicated to careers pathways education. Careers education is integrated across curricula and involves all year groups.
Career activities at St Edward’s include interest and strengths quizzes, occupational research, resume and interview preparation, industry and tertiary presentations, one-on-one career guidance, university open days, careers expos, vocational course offerings, work experience/placement, parent information evenings, online career resources, and guest speakers, among others.
We believe in equipping students with the skills necessary to plan and initiate their career pathways, whether they choose to attend university, TAFE, or college, pursue an apprenticeship or traineeship, or enter the workforce.
