New South Wales says more than 4,500 students in Campbelltown and Camden will gain access to its Educational Pathways Program when it expands to nine more schools in the first term of 2027. The state announced the A$3.9 million southwest Sydney expansion on November 12.

The programme helps students explore skilled work while they are still at school. It offers career guidance and routes into vocational courses, school-based apprenticeships and workplace experience. New staff will help the participating schools shape activities around local needs.

The state says the southwest Sydney expansion will bring the number of participating schools in Camden and Campbelltown to 14. It forms part of a wider A$11.6 million investment in the programme across New South Wales.
