Ponder Pathways — The Wanderers
A complete career education theme pack exploring ten travel-based careers. Simply print, display, and start the conversations.
Includes a 16-page Student Handbook, ten (10) Job Fact Sheets with a set of matching print-ready posters, Curriculum Connections for your teachers in seven subject areas, a curated Library List, and a Teaching Guide with ready-to-use communications templates.
Everything you need to run a travel-based careers theme for a full school term
Ponder Pathways helps you to showcase a wide range of exciting jobs to help broaden your student’s career horizons.
The Wanderers is the first in a new range of themed career displays sets called Ponder Pathways (a new inclusion that Ponder Member schools all over Australia, New Zealand, and the UK are already using in 2026).
These aren’t just tourism jobs though… they’re a range of professional roles where expertise needs to be mobile, across health, adventure, mining and resources, media, trade, and technical fields. The great thing for Career Counsellors is this themed careers resource pack gives you a complete set of ready-to-use materials you can implement in under an hour.
- Download the Wanderers resource pack (Zip file)
- Start printing the posters, display decals, and Job Fact Sheets (if you wish)
- Set up your display… and watch your students swarm around it.
It includes fact sheets you can print as handouts, corresponding posters, handbooks, and display resources that do all the heavy lifting for you, so you can focus on the conversations.

Mining & Industry: Geologist · Marine Technician
Media: News Team Producer · Event Planner

Each poster also features its Cadi Career Cluster alignment (Guardian, Linker, Informer, Coordinator, Innovator, or Maker) so that you can have a consistent careers language at school, especially if you’ve done the Cadi Cluster Quiz with your students.
Part of a full-year series
The Wanderers is the Term 1 theme in the 2026 Ponder Pathways series (these are all included at no extra cost in a Ponder Membership). With one theme per term, you’ll have forty (40) different career paths to share by year’s end:
Term 1: The Wanderers — travel-based careers
Term 2: Material World — (coming soon)
Term 3: Place Makers — (coming soon)
Term 4: Feed Me — (coming soon)
Each theme follows the same format, so once you’ve established your approach for sharing or displaying these, implementing future themes is easy and makes you look like you’ve always got something new.
