Career Counselling for High School Students | Roadmap Education
Personalised career counselling for high school students and parents, focusing on VCE subject selection, and transition to university and tafe.

The Podcast - Course and Career Chat

You know how schools get past students back to talk about what they’ve been doing since they left? That’s what this podcast is all about.

As well as demystifying the process around VCE, subject selection and ATARs, I talk to current students and academics to find out more about courses, careers and the transition from high school to further study. You’ll get an insight into what it’s all about so you can make informed choices about your future.

Listen each week to find out more about different courses and careers, or search below to find out more about the specific ones that you’re interested in.
