SCHOOLS

Bring careers to life in your classroom

The Neil Porter Legacy works alongside schools, teachers and careers advisors to embed real-world career experiences into everyday learning across Years 7–12 in Warrnambool, Moyne, Corangamite and Glenelg shires. You bring the students; we bring the industry.​

​

  • It’s free! Every NPL program is delivered at no cost to your school.

  • Doesn’t take time from the curriculum. We embed careers into the classes you already run, rather than adding another thing to fit in.

  • Built with teachers, not handed to them. Our programs are co-designed with teachers and industry, so they’re relevant to what you teach and how you teach it.

  • We work with you, not tell you what to do. You know your students. We bring the industry connections, the planning support and the legwork.

  • Spans Years 7–12. Career exploration starts early and builds, rather than landing all at once in the senior years.

For Careers Advisors

Careers advising can be an isolating job. With a national student-to-careers-advisor ratio of around 560:1, there’s never enough time to give every student what they need — and too often the role carries the whole school’s career education alone.

 

NPL is here to change that. We don’t replace the work you do — we amplify it. By creating curriculum-linked career experiences across the school, we help spread career education across teachers, industry and the wider community. That means pathway conversations with your students become more relevant and informed, and you get back time for the 1:1 guidance only you can provide.

The NPL has the enthusiasm and know-how and they get careers education programs happening. They’re a valuable resource that opens students’ eyes to what’s possible and are the bridge between schools and industry.
