- Encourage young people to attend career expos and TAFE and university open days.
- Recommend online resources that can help. The useful links shown on the right are a good place to start.

- When young people talk to you about their future, be positive about their thoughts and chances of finding a satisfying career path. Talk about how different jobs might work for them. Help them identify their positive qualities, interests, likes and experiences.
