With the second term well underway its time for young people to start thinking about some tough career decisions.
In this issue, we look at some of the decisions facing senior secondary students. Topics include the academic requirements needed for entry into university, information on scholarships and grants, and things to consider for those students who are thinking of leaving school. We also have some career stories from young people that your teen may find useful and inspiring and, finally, we have an invaluable resource for those teens attending a career expo this term.
Enjoy!
