Learning pathways

What is a learning pathway?

Your learning pathway is the way you navigate your learning, skill development and life experiences through the links between education and training, and community and personal life.

There are many learning pathways you can take on your way to any employment destination and yours will be unique to you. Your learning pathway may consist of employment-based training, such as an Australian Apprenticeship (known as an apprenticeship or traineeship in some states and territories), volunteering, entry-level work, further study and job advancement.

Throughout your career, the choices you make between different jobs, courses and roles in your community all guide you on your learning pathway. To understand where your choices can take you, it is a good idea to learn about:

• the types of learning experiences available
• where learning takes place
• how to link different types of learning.
