Testimonials

"l believe that this new and exciting resource will assist young people to gain a better understanding of not only occupation requirements but it will also give them a realistic insight into the modern workplace. This visual resource has a myriad of uses in secondary schools and goes beyond the confines of a work education program. The core and post compulsory curriculum would benefit from utilizing this resource as a research tool for project based assessments. VCAL students have a terrific resource that can form part of both their Personal Development and Industry Specific strands. I am happy to recommend this product for use in career education programs in secondary schools."

"This innovative website provides a brilliant resource for those persons advising pathways for young people and also for those seeking a vocational direction. With today's technology it is clear to me that a web service like this is long overdue in the complex area of career education and guidance. The basis of all learning is talking to people and showing them how. This website has real people doing just that ... describing their jobs, lives and the paths they followed."

"There are a lot of websites and books you can read and it all gets a bit boring. The movies you can watch are great. It is a great way to see and listen to someone who is currently in the industry, and to find out how they entered the industry as well as the tasks they are required to complete. "

Courtney Ley : Year 12 Student, VIC

"June just forwarded your email, so I logged on...the first time I have seen your material...fantastic, congratulations. There is no doubt that once a few of the schools get it there will be a stampede!! "
