Careers & HeadStart News

Cranbourne Secondary College students are supported by the Head Start program which is a mentored apprenticeship and traineeship program. This program is open to any student from Year 10 and above.  It is an opportunity to enhance student learning by allowing young people to start their career while still at school. Our aim is to ensure that students complete Year 12 as well as developing and demonstrating the required employment skills and knowledge.

Students may elect from a broad range of industry sectors. So during the ZiSS period, have you considered if a Head Start assisted apprenticeship or traineeship is appropriate for you?

Consider if this program might be right for you, it is open to all VCE and VCAL students. Contact the Head Start team via headstart.outerSE@education.vic.gov.au or if we are back on site pop down to the Pathways area and talk to a member of the team.

These are some of the young people who have begun their career in their chosen field. Congratulations!

Chloe (pictured below) has successfully completed her HEADSTART program. Chloe completed Year 12 VCAL last year and continued on to complete her certificate III in Business earlier this year.

She is still working with Aims Building Group - the same company that she did her traineeship with while still at school. Chloe is a perfect example of what the support of HEADSTART can do for a student.

Well done Chloe!
