Research• Making Career Development Core Business
This Report highlighted quality career development services were particularly important in Victoria given
• Victoria is moving towards a demand-driven VET and higher education system
• The post-compulsory qualifications and institutional choices that young people face are more diverse than in any other state and territory, and
• The extended young participation guarantee requirements means that more young people who may previously have left the education and training systems will need support to pursue their pathways
