Work Experience with a difference

The Foundation for Young Australians are offering a very special work experience opportunity called 'Work Inspiration'. It involves three components, based around developing insights into yourself and the world of work:

Insight 1: All About Me - discover the talents, passions and interests of the students through a ‘personality quiz’ style conversation. This is a get to know you type insight to start build some rapport and trust.

Insight 2: Behind the Scenes - presents an interactive outline of what the organisation does and why - where the students will learn about the organisation and who and what kind of jobs are on offer at FYA, The students will hopefully see or hear about a job they like.

Insight 3: Careers Happen - Young people interact with staff at FYA about their career journey, from their early teenage years up until now. This is also a session that might occur at the PriceWaterhouseCooper office in the city.

Places are very limited and by special application only. If your child thinks they may be interested in this, they should contact Careers Advisor, Kylie Witt.

Monash Scholars Program

Monash Scholars is a prestigious program for high achieving secondary school students.

The program is offered by Monash University to give potential students a unique head start into university life. It will provide opportunities for personal and academic development, give students the knowledge, skills and confidence to make the right study choices and enable them to build a network of peers, academic, and employment contacts.

The program begins in Year 10, continuing on through years 11 and 12, with participants invited to a number of events and activities each year. We would expect the time commitment to be approximately 20 hours per year, mostly out of school time.

Applications close May 29 and must be endorsed by the school prior to this date. Please download the attached flyer and form for more information and to apply for endorsement.
