Careers Corner

Year 9

All Year 9 students will be completing their Morrisby Profile on the 17th and 18th February. Morrisby is a comprehensive career guidance tool which will help each student learn more about their skills and abilities and match their personalities, strengths, and interests to jobs. In late March students will then have the opportunity to attend one on one interviews to talk through their results. 

Year 11 & Year 12

As a part of career education for our students at Glen Eira College, all Year 11 and Year 12 students are given the opportunity to attend an excursion to the VCE and Careers Expo at Caulfield Racecourse. The VCE and Careers Expo is an excellent opportunity for each student to attend seminars and meet with exhibitors to gain further information and resources on VCE subjects, university and TAFE providers, apprenticeships, employment opportunities and career advice. Students will be attending this excursion on Friday 29th April. Further details and information related to this excursion will be sent to parents and students in the coming weeks.

GEC Career and Pathways Website

Glen Eira College has its own Careers website, which I encourage both parents and students to visit https://gleneiracollegecareers.com/ to gain further information about post school opportunities, work experience, VTAC, apprenticeships etc, as well as useful links for parents to help their students with career planning and career conversations.

Students are even able to create a private account within the ‘Student Secure Area’ where they can create Career Action Plans, conduct Career Personality and Interest Tests, as well as get assistance in creating a resume and cover letter.

To view the Glen Eira College Careers page you can either access it through the GEC website by selecting ‘Careers and Pathways’ under the ‘Teaching and Learning’ tab, or here.
