Upskilling Career Practitioners

We offer study grants to support government secondary teachers to complete a Graduate Certificate in Career Education/Career Development. More than 400 teachers have participated in training through these grants since 2019.

In most cases, the funding will cover all costs. Schools can also get 2 days of casual relief teaching to support involvement in coursework.

For further information, please email the career.education@education.vic.gov.au
