Pathway Planning and Transition Support

Pathways

Pathways signify the journeys made by young people from compulsory education through to independent young adulthood. Pathways can include senior secondary education; vocational education and training delivered through a school, college, TAFE or private provider; an apprenticeship or traineeship; higher education; community education; informal learning; recreation and travel; workplace experience; casual, part-time or full-time employment; and various combinations of the above.

Successful transitions

Young people who acquire the knowledge, skills and attributes that will enable them to realise their full potential and to participate in and contribute to society, having engaged in education, training and employment, are understood to have made a successful transition from compulsory education to independent young adulthood.

Pathway Planning Officers will work in schools, alongside staff, to directly support students in the development of learning pathway plans.
