Did you know?
-
YouthSense (2019) research indicates that almost half of all high school students don’t have a clear idea of what careers they want to pursue when leaving school. Yet almost 70% of these same students elect a university pathway. This means many students enter a degree before they’ve had the opportunity and support to investigate their options and ambitions.
GenFuture is an accessible, practical, unbiased support program that was developed to help young people to know themselves and gain the confidence to lead their own career journeys. We believe that all young people should have the opportunity to approach their careers with excitement.
-
That’s one in every five students!
We acknowledge that people drop out of uni for many different reasons. At GenFuture, we want to ensure that one of these reasons does not include dropping out due to inadequate career support or information before they begin their degree. We endeavour to make it less likely that young people will need to re-orient their study pathway due to uncertainty. We provide users with relatable and accessible tools and information to make informed career choices.

(The Foundation for Young Australians [FYA], 2020)
FYA’s New Work Order series has shown that the future world of work and the pathways available today look very different to those our parents experienced. Rather than a couple of jobs across one career, it’s predicted that young people will have approximately 18 jobs over 6 different careers!
GenFuture’s career management program is designed to guide you through exploring your strengths and interests and to help you imagine where these can align to work possibilities now and in the future.
On average, the skillset required for one job is transferable to 13 other jobs (FYA, 2017). What we find most exciting about this is that everything you do can be valuable in helping where you go next. So young people can take a breath and know even if you don’t get it ‘right’ for you the first time, there are ongoing opportunities to find what is more right for you as you travel along your career journey.
GenFuture aids you in being more strategic around which opportunities you choose so that you can build the skills and competencies you require to access the work you enjoy throughout your career journey.

(National Centre for Vocational Education Research [NCVER], 2023)
Career evaluation and redirection are normal elements of all career journeys. Each of these processes can be aided by self-awareness.
By helping you develop self-awareness, Genfuture teaches you how to be strategic in approaching your Career Vision – your hopes and goals for your future career(s). You learn how to choose the type of work which will give you the skills and competencies to build a platform from which you have access to more work that you enjoy.
Although each of the careers and jobs you do will be different, you can take tangible steps to support your Career Vision by understanding their linked elements and yourself.

Given the emphasis on gaining a high ATAR for university entrance in public media, you may be surprised to find that more than 50% of people enter undergraduate degrees on a basis other than ATAR (Commonwealth Department of Education and Training, 2017).
Tertiary institutions often base entrance acceptance on someone’s prior experience, their suitability for the degree, and facilitating the equity of access.
You’re not a grade. You’re a person. At GenFuture, we believe there’s a distinct difference between knowing your scores and knowing yourself and where your unique strengths, interests, and needs can be applied.
We help you see there are many ways of achieving your Career Vision and entering work that you enjoy. It all starts with developing self-awareness.
Stay in the know.
