Work Experience 2024

We wish our Year 11 and 12 students the best of luck as they begin their Semester 1 work experience placements this week. They will be exploring a variety of industries and gaining valuable hands-on experience in fields such as electrotechnology, building and surveying, accounting, engineering, retail, physiotherapy, mining, automotive, healthcare, education, fitness, animal care, pharmaceuticals, events, and hospitality.

The College’s Work Prep Team sincerely thanks all the local businesses that support our program. For more information about our work placement opportunities, please contact the College Work Prep Team at wpl@norbert.wa.edu.au.

PARENTS AS CAREER PARTNERS

Assisting the young person in your life to undertake career exploration can often be difficult. Information, resources and options change rapidly, which can leave many individuals feeling overwhelmed.  There are a range of resources available to assist parents and guardians, so please take the time to have a read. The National Careers Institute has produced a free guide.  Download HERE.

YEAR 10, 11 AND 12 STUDENTS

University Open Days are on the calendar again.  Be sure to book in a few visits and see what is on offer.  Starting from Year 10 (or earlier) and checking out a couple of locations each year is fabulous way to explore ALL of your options.
