Career Pathways Presentation by the Australian Defence Force, with Corporal Boe Cameron and Corporal Alex O’Neill
The Careers Team recently held an information session with representatives from the Australian Defence Force (ADF) providing students an overview of career options and pathways within the ADF.
The session, aimed at senior students considering their future after high school, showcased various ADF career opportunities available and highlighted the broad range of roles from engineering and logistics to healthcare, trades, and leadership positions.
Students gained insight into the lifestyle, training, and education opportunities offered by the ADF, whilst speakers shared their personal stories and experiences, giving a genuine look into military life and the diverse paths available to recruits.
A key focus of the session was the variety of entry points into the ADF, including university sponsorships, apprenticeships, and the gap year program being popular for students wanting to gain experience before committing to long-term study or work.
A key message was the ADF offers more than just combat roles, it’s a large professional organisation requiring people of different ages, backgrounds, genders and skills, offering a variety of study and career opportunities that students may not have previously considered.
