Your Education and Career Plan

Discover what suits you by reflecting on yourself at different stages in your life. Then plan a
route that allows you to pursue learning or career opportunities that are true to you.

Get Started on Your Education and Career Journey

Whichever path you choose, your future success depends on more than the right
qualifications. Instead, make it your goal to explore opportunities for lifelong learning and to
build deep skills that enable you to grow as a specialist – no matter what you do.
Learning about yourself is critical in making informed decisions about your future.

With information about your interests, skills confidence, work values, learning styles, and
goals, you can organise what you need for your future. Completing various tools in the
‘Know Yourself’ module (as shown below) will help to increase your personal awareness and
support planning throughout your lifetime.

This report will summarize the information you have completed in MySkillsFuture Student
