Create a Career Pathway Poster

Support goal-setting with personalised student pathways.

Teaching context:
Ideal for career education, transition planning, or Year 9 personal development programs.

Basic AI Prompt:
Design a career pathway poster for a student.

Enhanced AI Prompt:
Create a detailed career pathway poster for a student who wants to become a marine biologist. Include required skills, study steps, subject choices and work experience ideas.

Spice it up:
Ask for a version formatted for Canva or Google Slides for easy editing.

Lesson implementation:
Use this prompt in career classes or pastoral care programs. Ask students to identify a career they’re interested in, then use AI to generate a personalised pathway. Provide printed templates so students can fill in their posters or display them around the room. Scaffold by preloading the AI with common jobs to streamline results.

This activity promotes self-awareness and links nicely to goal-setting programs. You can pair it with visits from industry professionals or local careers expos. For early finishers or extension tasks, have students research salary ranges, job demand or international opportunities related to their pathway.
