Vocational Pathways Success Stories

 

St Joseph's College is thrilled to celebrate the achievements of many of our students who have left the College to take up apprenticeships and work opportunities.  These students have come from both the academic and applied pathways and have sourced various work placements, undertaken VET Certificates and gone through job interviews and trials prior to being offered positions.

 

Our College celebrates the determination, courage and commitment these students have embodied to pursue their employment pathways and we wish them all the very best for as they take on the following careers:

  • Two painting apprenticeships
  • A plumbing apprenticeship
  • A cabinet maker apprenticeship
  • School Based Apprenticeship into a full-time Building apprenticeship
  • Automotive apprenticeship
  • Electrical apprenticeship
  • School Based Apprenticeship - Automotive
  • Electrical apprenticeship
  • Bricklaying
  • Building apprenticeship
  • School Based Heavy Diesel apprenticeship into full-time

 

 

St Joseph's is fortunate to have a passionate and dedicated Work Related Skills (WRS) Team within our Careers Department, who work intensely with our students who are aspiring to gain apprenticeships, traineeships and other employment opportunities. 

 

Please contact the WRS team if you would like to know more about these pathways, or if your business would like to be involved in supporting our students by emailing: careers@sje.vic.edu.au
