May Careers Update

The majority of Year 10 students went out on work experience last week and we will be sharing their insights in next week’s newsletter. The Careers newsletters from the year can currently be found on the homepage of Mordialloc College Careers Website. I would encourage all students and parents to have a good look around the website.

The Real Skills for Real Careers video highlights the benefits of VET programs (Vocational Education and Training) as they are designed and developed by industry leaders with an eye to the future needs. Completing a VET certificate or Diploma before, or as an alternative to, completing a degree can positively impact students' employability outcomes.

Students in Years 10-12 who include VET subjects in their secondary school programs, can advance their careers and employability skills by gaining entry level certificates and credit for their VCE and VCAL programs. Many VCE VET programs provide a study score, contributing towards an ATAR in the same manner as conventional VCE subjects. The two main providers of VET for our students are Holmesglen and Chisholm.

Year 9-11 students are encouraged to visit the Careers Office during Term 2 & 3 to discuss the range of VET options available for 2019 to suit their needs and to complete an expression of interest form.
