Pathfinders career pathway infographics

These pathway maps are designed for teachers and families. They are not intended for children to map their futures. Instead, they show that STEM careers have multiple entry points:

• university
• vocational training
• apprenticeships
• career changes later in life 

Research shows that limited awareness of these options can act as a barrier, particularly for students from underrepresented backgrounds. Our goal is simple: widen the lens of what’s possible.

Use these infographics to guide career conversations. Parents and teachers play a crucial role in helping children explore various career options and make informed decisions about their future. Please note: these examples represent just a few pathways among many, illustrating the various routes that can lead to a specific career.

The educational qualifications and levels outlined in the Pathfinder career infographic pathways are intended as general guidelines. To obtain accurate and up-to-date information, explore resources specific to your state or territory, available through websites like:

• myfuture.edu.au
• YourCareer.gov.au
• AustralianApprenticeships.gov.au

There is also a range of financial support available for students doing apprenticeships or going to university, visit www.servicesaustralia.gov.au/education to see what’s available.

There are countless pathways to the same career. Each child’s unique skills, interests, and strengths will guide them on their personal journey to success.
