Choice can be daunting or desirable, marvellous or muddling. What helps a confusing plethora of options to become a wealth of exciting opportunities is clear information upon which to base your choices. At present the job market is relatively buoyant and there are plenty of pathways from which to choose. Education and training and training options are perhaps the most extensive they have ever been. All this is, of course, good news, but it does mean that anyone entering the employment market at whatever level must undertake considerable research. It is also true that having plenty to choose from does not mean that every choice is easy. Much of the job market, for example work in the media, is fiercely competitive.


This guide will help you access all the information you need to inform your decision making. It is useful whether you are at the stage where you think you know what you want, but would like to check entry requirements, or whether you just want to flick through to give yourself some ideas. If you really are unsure where to begin, flick through some of the ‘Personal Qualities and Skills’ sections to see what matches your experience and ambitions. If you read a ‘Qualifications and Training’ section and are in any doubt as to whether you have what is required, check directly with an employer, a course provider or a relevant professional body. The information on salaries can only be a guide, because different types of employer have different types of salary structure. The Info panels at the end of each career entry will lead you to a wealth of sources of further information. Websites are especially useful, providing details of training, education and vacancy sources and linking you to further sources of information.
