Information for teachers and career practitioners

These helpful resources encourage students to explore options, plan career pathways and discover possibilities.

myfuture's theoretical underpinning is inspired by the DOTS model career development learning framework (Tony Watts 2015). The resources on myfuture aim to improve decision making abilities, self and opportunity awareness, and career transition learning. The myfuture team regularly engages with the career development community to provide learning opportunities. Contact us if you are interested in attending a professional learning session or would like to contribute an article for publication.

My career profile

My career profile is the core of the myfuture National Career Information Service. Completing the Australian developed psychometric Interests test will generate a list of suggested occupations to explore based on responses to the test.

The Skills, Knowledge and Work conditions activities will complement the Interest test outcomes and provide more context for consideration.
