SENIOR SCHOOL

Year 10 Careers Experience 

Preparations for the Year 10 Careers Experience program are in the final stages and Students who still need to finalise placement arrangements are asked to do so as soon as possible. 

• The dates for Careers Experience are Monday, 25 June–Friday, 29 June 2018
•   which is the last week of Term 2.
• Completed Work Experience Arrangement Forms should be returned to the Careers Office in the Senior Centre for processing.
• Students are more than welcome to ask questions and seek assistance from the Careers Office.

Please refer to the Information Pack that all students received last year for further information. Additional copies of the Work Experience Arrangement Form can also be accessed from the Doncaster Careers Website – www.doncastercareers.com

The alternate program, the NextGen Challenge will be held at the College during the same week as Careers Experience.

• Application forms are on Compass News Feed and need to be submitted by Friday,  18 May.

Students may choose to take part in this program in lieu of Careers Experience or if their placement week is at a different time, they would be encouraged to make the most of this excellent opportunity to participate in this program. The illuminate: NextGen Challenge is an intensive program that allows students to experience first-hand what it takes to be an entrepreneur and small business champion, learning what it takes to start a new business in a week, going through the process of developing the idea, refining it, making sure it connects with customers and is viable before making a pitch for investment!
