How you can help yourself

  •   Make use of the literature you receive
  •       Discuss your career ideas with friends, family, teachers, careers advisers.
  •  Complete all your PD work seriously. 
  •  Don't leave decisions for your choices at the end of Year 11 too late!
  •  Join in any careers related activities that are offered to you
