Many of our VCAL students have moved into apprenticeships and some into traineeships. Many have used their Structured Workplace Learning to secure post-secondary school employment. Yet, others are now are studying at TAFE to build upon their achievements in their VET certificates.

We wish the entire class of 2016 well and hope that they come back and visit us to tell us how they are progressing.

2017 Careers Team

During 2016 a comprehensive review was completed of the pathways (careers) program at Cranbourne Secondary College and as a result, the College has injected more resources into this area of student services.

We will be moving into a purpose built careers area towards the end of 2017. We are excited about the changes that have and will continue to occur during the year.

We also welcome a new member to the team, Kathie Jacobs. Kathie comes to us from Skill Invest and has a wealth of knowledge and experience in both counselling students and delivering training programs. She worked with us during 2016 and has now been appointed as a full time member of our team.

If you have careers or pathways based question please phone the General Office and ask for one of the careers team members or visit the General Office and complete a referral form with specific details about the help and guidance your child needs.

The careers team is located in V block in the office adjacent to V6 (Study Hall). We look forward to working with your children in 2017.
