7. Beyond the ATAR: Skills & Trades Pathways Over the past month, you or someone you know may have been one of the thousands of students who are weighing up their options after receiving, or not receiving, a single number: their ATAR. While it is a result that inevitably holds a lot of weight, educators such as Victoria University’s Vice Chancellor and President Professor Peter Dawkins contends that the ATAR is just one piece of data and that a deeper understanding of students’ skills and abilities is necessary rather than “giving undue emphasis to this thing called the ATAR score.” Year13’s research throughout ‘After the ATAR: Understanding how Gen Z Transition into Further Education & Employment’ demonstrates that Australian youth are predominantly engaging at school to produce an ATAR, rather than as a method of preparing for life after school. Throughout their surveys of thousands of young Australians, Year13 uncovered many definitive trends amongst the youth of Australia. Namely, calling out for opportunities to explore their options, without the pressure and stress to act on them immediately. They need time to align to employment and education pathways, so they can make informed and confident decisions based on the right choice for them. Additionally, some recent survey findings from Truth-Serum on behalf of Open Universities Australia are a reminder to Year 12 students who have received their ATAR that it is not the be all and end all of their career prospects. As part of the survey, Australians aged between 18 to 40 who graduated from university in the past three years were asked to answer key questions surrounding the ATAR. The results indicated that one in three university graduates indicated their ATAR has had no effect on their career outcome and found 38 per cent believed their ATAR “did not impact where I am in my career today”. Just 22 per cent of respondents believed their ATAR strongly or very strongly affected their career outcomes. A paper published by Skilling Australia Foundation titled ‘Perceptions are not reality: myths, realities and the critical role of vocational education and training in Australia’ and indicated that nine of the 10 jobs with the fastest growth in demand over the next five years involve training at VET Training Providers. It seems the diversification of tertiary study options is going to help more Australian students excel in their chosen field – regardless of the ATAR they receive. Within our WorldSkills Australia community, competitors have often expressed their joy at finding their passion within a trade or skill as opposed to attending university. 2017 Skillaroo Josh Morrissey finished school with a high ATAR offering him the option to head to university, but decided on a trade. Having grown up wanting to be an architect, Josh realised during his senior schooling that he preferred to work with his hands. He completed his joinery apprenticeship last year and went on to compete internationally in his trade, representing Australia last year at the 44th WorldSkills International Competition in Abu Dhabi. “I’m not sure if I will ever study at uni. With the opportunities I have been presented through my WorldSkills journey and with my ongoing learning in the building industry, I wouldn’t see a need for me to study at uni any time soon,” he said. Curtin University clinical psychology Professor Peter McEvoy says of the ATAR, “People need to be aware of the pathways, and it’s critical about the way they respond and gain motivation.
Students need to inform themselves of the pathways and find the information and looks towards their goals.” Ultimately, any future employer will not be interested in your ATAR alone. The focus for the workforce of the future will be on transferable and adaptable skills, rather than those necessarily specific to a profession. Skills such as critical thinking, problem solving, adaptability, digital literacy, lateral thinking, collaborative communication and teamwork, and emotional intelligence are those that go beyond the ATAR, and beyond the divide between university and vocational education.

11. School Based Traineeship Opportunities
12. Work Experience – Factors to Consider Work experience can open up your mind to the great possibilities of your career. Handled well, you can learn a lot about the workplace you visit, the types of education and training required to get there, and what sort of fit this career might have with your own life. Often parents and students think that the purpose of work experience is to assist you to obtain part time work, but this seriously undervalues work experience as a program to help explore, develop, and refine your career aspirations. Having coordinated a work experience program in a secondary school, I know that the best placements are organised well in advance; that the student has really thought about what they would like to try, and they have maximised their time in their placement to find out as much as they can about that work environment. So how do you get the most out of work experience? Our school renamed the program ‘Careers Experience’ to give the program a different focus. You don’t need your school to rename their program, but you can visualise how this changes your perceptions of what’s involved. If it’s more than just experiencing work, maybe you can dream really large. Be informed Get all the relevant forms you need so you can familiarise yourself with everything that is required. Work experience in secondary school requires a ‘Work Experience Arrangement Form’ for a placement to go head. This will form a legal contract between you, your parent, your school and the employer. This is really important! This is what protects you should you be injured while you’re on placement. It is essential that everyone understands what they are signing. It’s also useful to grab the information guides for students, parents and employers so that you are aware of the common questions to ask if you contact an employer who’s unfamiliar with the work experience program. Be prepared Make yourself a list of industries you’d like to explore. Think about what areas within the industry you are most interested in. Want to work in health and medicine? Would you like hospitals, maternal and child health centres or a health promotion organisation? Compile a list of potential businesses to contact. For local businesses, you might find a local business directory more useful than Google. Write yourself a script for when you call businesses so that you remember to include all the important information in your conversation (dates, what work experience is, why you’d like to work there, etc.). Start now Many formalised work experience programs, such as the state police force or zoo require written applications in the year prior to the placement. They often want a written recommendation, or even the placement paperwork to come from your school. Check with your Careers Adviser now about what the possibilities are. Already missed out on a placement like this? Then look at your plan B options, but consider doing another week next year. Be resilient It’s not unusual to call dozens of employers and get dozens of knock backs. Sometimes it’s because they have filled their quota or perhaps they’re just not interested in hosting a student at that time. It’s nothing personal, so don’t be discouraged. Keep trying. Ask for help if you need it. Be involved Identify the different roles that employees have in the organisation. What are they all doing? What further education or training did they do to get to where they are? Try and arrange a
time to sit and talk to some of the employees to find out a bit about their career journey. You can learn a lot from listening to others peoples stories. At the end of your placement, review how it went. Did you love it? Hate it? Why? What did you learn about that job/occupation/industry? What did you learn about yourself? This is the best part of the program because it allows you to draw on the experience to help you make better career decisions in the future.
