1500 Occupations

Year 12 Oxley students will soon need to make choices about what they aim to do next year and beyond. Further study, a break from study, or straight to the world of work?; What kind of work, and where?; What will I like and how will I know?

There are around 1500 occupations listed on the Job Guide(1) website . The best way to narrow this down to a meaningful list is to focus on your interests and your strengths.

To find your interests, the MyFuture(2) website has a survey to help students find out more about themselves.

A more in-depth survey can be found at authentichappiness(3) which helps to identify character strengths.

These are both great tools to help inform the decision-making process.
