Using print materials in your careers program

Working with educators, Study Work Grow designs a range of print materials to help Careers Advisors make careers & pathways more visible at school.

The research tells us that the majority of students have a very narrow view of the range of possible careers for them, often choosing from just 10 common careers out of the 1,000+ available.

Here is an example of ‘Job Spotlights’ displayed in the careers office of careers advisor Joelle McCully at Hillcrest Christian College on the Gold Coast, Australia. Joelle said the students can often be found reading the posters and thinking about alternative career options:

A4 Guides & Handbooks

Guides and handbooks are a non-digital way to read, share, and explore career or pathways content in classrooms, waiting rooms, student receptions, careers offices, and school libraries.

Here is an example of A4 Guides & Handbooks being displayed at the Queensland Academy of Science, Maths and Technology (QASMT) in Brisbane, Australia:
