Abstract

Students’ career choosing is intricately related to family, school system, society, and country. In this age of intense competition, students need more effective and detailed career planning for their career goals and future based on social environment, their self-cognition, knowledge structure and more. The purpose of this essay is to explore the central role of schools and educational institutions in career education and helping students find their career pathways in Australia. Finding a career path can be divided into two stages: the first stage, the school helps students develop and explore their careers; the second stage, the students receive vocational training in educational institutions. School career development and exploration practice is the premise of the second stage, which is to promote middle school students to choose vocational education and training (VET) or pathway to university. Both of the options also play an essential role in helping different students find their career paths. The essay draws a conclusion that it is important to develop a parity of esteem between VET and academic education through school outreach and integrating the two.
