Careers & Pathways
Celebrating Success!
I hope everyone has returned for 2026 refreshed and ready to take on another exciting year. I would like to take a moment to look back and celebrate the Class of 2025 and congratulate them on all their achievements that led to a wonderful array of course offerings throughout the VTAC tertiary offer periods recently. The strengths and talents within the 2025 cohort were very much on show with such a wide variety of course offers. 100% of the class of 2025 who applied through VTAC received a Tertiary offer, with many students receiving two or three! Offers were made from both Victorian and interstate institutions, although data below only reflects the Victorian based offers.
2026 TERTIARY DESTINATIONS
Upcoming Events
The best way to really understand future options is to experience them for yourself. Each tertiary institution runs tours, experience days and course information sessions throughout the year, as well as their open days which generally start in late July and continue throughout August.
Please see the list of upcoming opportunities, most of which are free to participate in.
