Work in all its forms – paid and unpaid – plays a central role in our lives. Technological, social and economic factors are rapidly changing the nature of work, the traditional patterns of work organisation and how individuals engage in work. The successful transition of students from school to the workforce and further education and training is essential for individuals and for society. Individuals will need to be flexible and responsive to change along their career pathway. Opportunities for workers to change jobs, develop new skills and to obtain new experiences will be part of the future world of work.

The course is designed to assist students in their transition from school to work. It develops knowledge and understanding of the issues faced through the transition to work and the skills required for effective career planning and performing tasks in the work environment.

This course will enable students to develop their skills, knowledge, understanding and confidence to allow them to experience a successful transition from school to work and further education and training.
