Careers and Employability
Supporting students to experiment and explore their way to a fulfilling and purpose-driven career pathway for their life after school.
A purpose-driven approach to careers education 🧭
Everyone in education understands that the way we prepare students for their future careers must change. Purposeful have spent the last 4 years designing Careers and Employability programs that are innovative, engaging and impactful for teachers and students alike, and meet the ever-changing demands of the future of work. Integral to being employable and finding career direction against a backdrop of uncertainty and change, is making career choices driven by purpose. We adopt a holistic approach to careers education that gives students greater agency in the choices they have to make about the future, and simplify the overwhelming process of determining the right career pathway for you.

"I found the Purposeful talk extremely effective and informing. I loved that it was entertaining but at the same time sharing important information to make our lives in year 10 and the future much easier. I’m definitely going to reflect on the things I learnt in this session when selecting my subjects for Year 11 and 12"
Year 10 student, MLC Melbourne
"Had an amazing experience with the Purposeful team, who provided great insight and support in clarifying and helping me determine my career path. Today’s workshop was a great opportunity to explore my passions and helped inform what l want for myself going forward in my future. Very self reflective and insightful workshop."
Year 11 Student, Ursula Frayne Catholic College
"I loved how they told me about how we don't need to know exactly what we want to do right now, it's made me feel more relaxed. I found the Career Experiment to be an eye-opening experience that allowed me to think about my career goals and think about the direction I wish my future to go."
