Pathfinders career pathway infographics
These infographics support parents and teachers in guiding career conversations
Parents and teachers play a crucial role in helping children make informed decisions about their future. Our career pathway infographics represent a few of the many pathways into STEM careers - including both vocational education and training and university routes.
These pathway maps are designed for teachers and families to 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 seen as possible.
Use these infographics to guide career conversations - they show a few of the many pathways into STEM careers.
The educational qualifications and levels in the infographics provide general information. You can explore resources specific to your state or territory on websites like:
