Year 10 - Work Experience Week
- Term 2: JUNE 19th – 23rd
- Term 3: SEPT 11th – 15th
Why Do Work Experience?………
- Surf Coast Secondary College values work experience because it helps prepare students for the demands and expectations of the working world.
- Work experience helps students make more informed career decisions.
- It enables students to start developing a range of employability skills.
- Through work experience, students can begin to build networks and engage with the community, sometimes leading to part-time work as well as providing them with a reference as they build their resumes.
- Students can use their experience in the workplace to reflect on their future pathway.
- If you are a local business that would like to host a work experience student, please get in touch with us at Surf Coast Secondary College.
1 - Decide what work experience you would like to do!
2 - Find out where you can do that kind of work experience.
- Do some research to find employers related to the work experience you're interested in.
- Search websites for that kind of job, and then try approaching the businesses that advertise those jobs. Ring and introduce yourself, ask if they will take you on for work experience.
- You could also do online searches using keywords associated with the sort of work experience you want.
3 - Use your networks
- Your family and friends, this includes people you know from your neighbourhood like sporting coaches or community leaders. It also includes people you know from your school, like teachers and career counsellors.
- Asking people you already know for advice on places you can do work experience is a great way to use your network.
- Your family probably has good connections with the local community. Ask them if they know a local business owner who can help.
- Make a list of the names and contact details for the businesses and organisations you find out about.
4 - Applying for work experience
- The careers team need the host employers business name and address, contact details of the owner or manager including their email and phone number.
- Once we have received the above we can generate the paperwork.
5 - Don't give up!
- If you work through your list and you haven't found any work experience, don't give up. Come and visit us in the Careers Office.
- Try thinking about: Other jobs you might be interested in or other companies in areas you haven't looked at yet.
