Tip 1 - Get ready early
- Start planning for your transition from school as early as possible.
- Start thinking about what you would like to do after school, and how to achieve this, around age 14-15.
- Would you like to do further study at TAFE, university or through a community or private training organisation?
- What about an apprenticeship or traineeship?
- Part or full time employment?
- Volunteering?
- Or a combination of these?
- The better planned your move from school is, the more positive and less stressful the experience will be.
- It is important to think about the types of support you might need after school – see Tip 2.
- Make contact with people who can support you early – this will ensure there is plenty of time to organise any help or supports you may need at TAFE, university or work. See Tip 7 – Get support for more information about the types of people to make contact with.
