ABOUT

CTA Initiative

The Careers Talk AUS initiative aims to promote careers in the Australian entertainment industry to young people. Careers include performing arts, music, and entertainment business management. Film and television will be added soon.

Sandie at Catholic College Wodonga developed the initiative in 2017 in response to seeing talented Year 12 students not pursue their dream careers after school, as they were worried they wouldn’t have a stable job in the future.

We hope that through reading about the career journeys of talented Australian’s working in the entertainment industry, young people across Australia will pursue the career or careers they are passionate about.

The website currently features interviews with well-known industry professionals and advice from industry experts.

We hope you enjoy reading the interviews and also utilise the course and careers search function to explore your post school options. You’re welcome to join the Facebook site, which will provide up to date information and news.

Happy reading,

Sandie McKoy
Career Development Leader  |  Catholic College Wodonga
