FutureNow Career Pathways Project
A suite of occupational and pathway guides and a website thecareers.guide have been produced by FutureNow to present career pathways information to prospective learners interested in employment in the Event Management field.

FutureNow and Tourism WA have collaborated on a career promotion program through the appointed of a Hospitality, Tourism and Events Career Advisor. This will involve visits to a number of High schools to promote careers in these industries. Please contact Birgit Smith on 0459 980 920 or bsmith@futurenow.org.au if you would like her to visit your school for a presentation.
