Year 10 Work Experience Program
Our Year 10 students are completing their work experience week in July.
This is a great opportunity for our students to identify and pursue work placement in a business or industry of their choice.
A work experience week is often an important time, where young people get an understanding of the world of work, develop new skills and create contacts and networks for the future.
St Joseph’s College acknowledges that these experiences would not be possible without the fantastic support of employers and businesses throughout our community. We look forward to engaging with our Year 10 students to hear about their work experience placements.
If you are interested in supporting our students with one day per-week or week block work placements, please get in touch with our Careers and Work Related Skills Team by emailing careers@sje.vic.edu.au.
