Year 10 Work Experience from Monday 3rd June to Friday 7th June
Our annual Year 10 Work Experience program will run in June and allow students to discover an industry or specific job for a week to gain valuable insight and assist with future course and career decisions.

Some employers advertise their work experience program on their website and have strict application timelines. Some students will use their networks with family and friends to confirm their placement.

This is a careers forum with purpose. Each semester, Science Gallery Melbourne will introduce your students to inspiring people who work to solve some of our most pressing global and local challenges that we as a community face.
Students will hear not only about career journeys and industry connections, but how these professionals work across science, technology, engineering, arts and maths and use a range of transferable skills in the ways they work to make a difference in the world.
In this edition of our STEAM Careers Online Forums, during National Careers Week and Victorian Education Week, we will focus on transdisciplinary careers relating to biotech, bioethics and more.
