Life After School: Find Out What's Waiting For You With This Handy Guide

This post is presented in partnership with real skills for real careers.

Before you know it, your time at high school will have come to an end. Congrats!

But then what?

A lot of students can find themselves feeling a bit overwhelmed, because there are just so many options suddenly available to them. First of all, don't panic. Having heaps of options is actually a good thing, because each can be considered a pathway to wherever it is you want to go.

Student Edge has compiled this guide, with the help of some real students, to help explain exactly what those options are and what each can offer you. This includes real skills for real careers available through Vocational Education and Training (VET) options—such as going to Technical and Further Education (TAFE), a private registered training organisation/college and Australian Apprenticeships (including apprenticeships and traineeships)— as well as university, bridging courses, the Australian Defence Force, gap years and direct employment.
