Career Planning
Not sure what you want to study or what you want to be when you're finished school? Fortunately a wealth of information is available to inform you on which ever path you choose in life.
Planning for the future is never easy. While everyone has different motivations in terms of what area of work they wish to pursue, some important facts and trends should help in deciding where to go:
- The population is aging, which will create job growth in Health careers
- The move towards a knowledge-based economy is creating jobs in Natural and Applied sciences
- The increased need for college, university education, and training will increase job opportunities in the Education and Social Science sector
- The aging population means that more people are retiring and having free time. According to Realm magazine the fastest growing industry in the world is tourism
- An aging population is also creating an increased demand for the trades. Many of the exisiting trades professionals are in the 50s. And in the last 15 to 20 years, young people have not been choosing the trades as a career. There will be an increase demand for the trades and people in these positions will be earning top wages.
