• Yrs 9-12: Labour Market education advice - We know that the Labour Market right now is not 'normal' as a result of COVID-19. For the first time ever, over 1 million Australians are unemployed. Many industries have taken a massive employment hit, and sadly, 15-24yr olds have been hit harder than most in finding work. This means that the transition you have to make from school to tertiary education is more critical than ever, because you need to make sure you're looking at what you enjoy & can build a career around, rather than where that training is! To support this, information has just been shared from the Federal Government talking about outcomes for those who gain qualifications in VET (apprenticeships & TAFEs) and those who gain qualifications in higher education (university). Have a look at the reality of the outcomes for both options and remember - it's your choice for your future. Training status & prestige doesn't equal employment.

Today, a special focus on key takeaways from the recently released 2020 Graduate Outcome Survey, focusing on employment outcomes with various university degrees. Released in August, this information tells you what adults are doing with both their undergraduate or postgraduate qualifications, both 4mths ('short-term') & 3yrs ('medium-term') after finishing study (Surveys taken in both 2017 & 2020).

The information provided can - AND SHOULD - help to further inform your post-school career choices. To access the full report, click here.

• Short-term and medium-term employment outcomes for undergraduates:
  • It takes a while for graduates to establish their working lives after completing an undergraduate degree, but most do.

  • 	Short-term outcome (2017)	Medium-term outcome (2020)
    In full-time employment	73%	90.1%
    Overall employed (not just f/t employment)	86.9%	93.3%
    Median salary	$60,000	$75,000

• Short-term and medium-term employment outcomes for postgraduates (coursework):
  • A higher starting & finishing point than for undergraduate-only, which is to be expected.

  • 	Short-term outcome (2017)	Medium-term outcome (2020)
    In full-time employment	86.2%	94.1%
    Overall employed (not just f/t employment)	92.9%	95.8%
    Median salary	$83,300	$98,000

• Short-term and medium-term employment outcomes for postgraduates (research):
  • Again, a higher starting & finishing point than for undergraduate-only.

  • 	Short-term outcome (2017)	Medium-term outcome (2020)
    In full-time employment	81.4%	90.1%
    Overall employed (not just f/t employment)	91.3%	92.6%
    Median salary	$89,500	$103,000

• Of the 21 different areas of study identified, there are some that constantly come out as areas that have the highest full-time employment outcomes. The top 5 for each are listed. To see the result of all 21 study areas, click above for the full report.

  • 	Undergraduate	Postgraduate (coursework)	Postgraduate (research)
    2017	Medicine Pharmacy Dentistry Rehabilitation Veterinary Science	Pharmacy Medicine Nursing Rehabilitation Engineering	Medicine Health Services Psychology Teacher Education Science & Maths
    2020	Dentistry Medicine Rehabilitation Pharmacy Engineering	Rehabilitation Medicine Pharmacy Law & paralegal studies Nursing	Health Services Medicine Science & Maths Engineering Agriculture

• Of the universities that Sirius College students generally apply to (Victorian-based), there are different full-time employment outcome rates for both undergraduate & postgraduate graduates, both 4mths & 3yrs after course completion. For all universities in Australia, click above for the full report.

  • 	Undergraduate		Postgraduate
    Short-term	ACU Monash Federation Deakin RMIT Swinburne La Trobe VU Uni of Melb		ACU Uni of Melb La Trobe Federation Monash Deakin Swinburne RMIT VU
    Medium-term	ACU (Australia's best) Federation Monash Deakin La Trobe VU Swinburne RMIT Uni of Melb		ACU (Australia's best) Federation La Trobe Monash Uni of Melb Deakin VU Swinburne RMIT

• 73.4% of full-time employed undergraduate workers were employed in managerial or professional roles 4mths after graduating. This increased to 80.4% 3yrs after graduating.
• 40.9% of employed undergraduates reported that their skills & qualifications were not being fully used 4mths after graduating. This dropped to 26.7% 3yrs after graduating
• Of these 40.9%:
  • Nearly 1 in 5 said that this was because there were no suitable jobs in their area of expertise.
  • Just under 1 in 6 couldn't find a suitable job near where they lived.
• 20.5% of undergraduates went into postgraduate studies 4mths after finishing their undergraduate qualification. The 3 biggest areas that these immediate undergraduate --> postgraduate students went into in 2020 were:

  3. Natural & Physical Sciences (13.5%)

• Yr12: Important reminder regarding university places -  A few students have spoken to the Career Development Dept. about what the 'knock-on' effect will be for places in university courses because of the potential drop in overseas students coming in. We need to make a point very clear about this:
  • Will there be more spaces available in courses next year because of a lack of international students?
    • Yes...and no.
  • Why yes?
    • Fairly obvious - less students from overseas means more spaces for Australian students.
  • So why no?
    • The Federal Government only allocates a certain amount of money for Commonwealth Supported Places (CSP) to each course at each uni (this is the percentage of the total yearly course cost that the Fed. Govt. pays for applicable students). From what we have heard so far, this amount isn't changing for 2021, meaning that the same amount of students will come into a course with a CSP. Those who don't qualify for a CSP (such as international students) have to pay full cost.
  • What's this mean for me?
    • If you're a CSP student (confirm at Study Assist by clicking here), nothing. However, there'll potentially be more spaces available...if you're willing to pay full fees (in excess of $20,000 a year - refer to fee changes document sent out at start of T3 by clicking here for exact prices for 2021).

• Yr12: Applying for SEAS and Scholarships in Year 12 RMIT webinars - Has your Year 12 education been impacted by circumstances outside of your control?

• Yr12 - Important update for Monash Domestic Medicine Applicants - Monash Uni has had to make some changes to the MMI interview process for 2021 entry in order to meet the VTAC offer rounds timeline. Most interviews will now be held in mid-December 2020 and selection for these interviews will be based on a ranking of applicants’ UCAT test scores only. Importantly, a second round of interviews will be held in early January 2021, for Victorian and rural interstate applicants. Selection will be based on a combination of final Year 12 aggregate scores and UCAT test scores as per the usual process. Interview dates will be posted on the Important Dates page and are subject to change. Applicants should make themselves available for all published dates if you wish to remain eligible for Medicine at Monash. Interviews will follow the same scenario-based, multi-station format, but are highly likely to be conducted online via Zoom with fewer stations than in previous years i.e., to include 6 virtual stations. There is no additional preparation required for the interviews (ie. DON’T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON ‘PREP’ CLASSES) and applicants selected for an interview will be briefed accordingly. If shortlisted, you will be invited to attend an interview via e-Mail (please check all spam email folders) and will be required to log in to an online system to self-allocate a time to attend. Once the system closes, changes will not be permitted, and late requests cannot be accommodated.
