Careers

There are numerous opportunities to go onto campus during the Term 1 school holidays - to learn more about the facilities and programs on offer, take a tour, attend a seminar or talk and / or undertake workshops. Careers staff strongly encourage students to take advantage of these opportunities to continue or start their course and career research.

Here are some examples of what is on offer:

Deakin campus tours
MySci at Monash University for lovers of Science
ACU guided campus tours
Photography Studies College free photography and digital imaging workshops
RMIT campus tours
A Day in the Life of a Swinburne student
Experience La Trobe
A Day at Melbourne
Campus Tours at Monash

These have all been referenced in the Careers News newsletters accessible on AIMS through the Careers Group (https://aims.aitkencollege.edu.au/homepage/2386).

Year 12 Students

We have completed our Careers lessons during Year 12 Life Skills classes. Students have been shown the Careers timeline for 2024 / 2025, revisited the myfuture website and learned to use the VTAC Course Search function to assist them with their course and career research. These classes were designed to encourage students to have career and course conversations with parents, teachers, friends and relatives, to undertake their course and career research and to assist them with their planning for life post Aitken.
