Are you struggling to find out what options are available for your school leaver next year?

A School Leavers Information Kit and School Leavers Information Service designed to help 'school leavers navigate the changed labour market as a result of COVID-19' are now available.

Both come from the government's new National Careers Institute and can be found on the Your Career website: yourcareer.gov.au/school-leavers-support/

All school leavers should have received an information card or brochure in October  about the School Leavers Information Kit - Your Career: What’s next for you?.  The kit covers education, training and career options. It contains lots of information that's useful for parents and carers who are helping teens who are looking at what to do after school.

The School Leavers Information Service 1800 CAREER (1800 227 337) offers a triage service with guidance on how to use the School Leavers Information Kit and the Your Career website and can direct you to suitable government programs or support services.

Callers may be referred to a personalised career guidance session with a qualified career practitioner for up to 45 minutes, where needed.

Young people also have the option to text the Service by texting SLIS2020 to 0429 009 435 or they can email through schoolleavers.nci@dese.gov.au.

The Your Career website also has lots of information for adults on training and career options.
