Future Pathways Program

The Mas National Future Pathways Program is a dynamic initiative designed to illuminate the pathways within Australian Apprenticeships, education and further training.

How the program works

Our Future Pathways Program is delivered by careers staff at Mas National, aiming to equip students with essential insights and help them make informed decisions about their future careers and educational paths. Each session is specifically tailored to the unique needs and demographics of your school. Our offerings include engaging in-person presentations, interactive online forums, and access to vital resources, all crafted by our experienced careers staff. The program is accessible to students, teachers and parents alike. For schools requiring it, we also provide remote delivery options to ensure comprehensive accessibility.

Benefits of the program
