Year 12s - Available Jobs & Pathways Support

St Joseph’s is fortunate to have a dedicated Work Related Skills (WRS) Team that is able to offer students tailored advice on career pathways or transition into work.

We are lucky to live in a supportive community where many businesses have a strong willingness to provide young people with opportunities to work and remain living in the area.

Our school has received a number of apprenticeship and full time work opportunities in recent months and the WRS Team have been engaging with students who may be suitable applicants.  This has seen some great outcomes, with some students being successful in securing jobs.

We realise this is a very busy and exciting time, however we would like to remind our Year 12 students and families that the WRS Team can continue to offer support right up to the end of this school year on 12 December.

Particular areas where the WRS team can support include:

• Apprenticeships / Traineeships
• Resumes & Cover Letters
• Job Applications
• Interview Preparation
• Services Australia (Centrelink) connections
• Employment Agency & Transition to work connections

If you would like to make an appointment, or request some assistance please contact the WRS Team at careers@sje.vic.edu.au or 5482 2577.
