Year 9 Students: My Career Insights

Description/Educative Purpose:

My Career Insights is a program for all Year 9 students in Victorian Government secondary schools. The Department of Education and Training (DET) has engaged the Career Education Association of Victoria (CEAV), which is working with Career Analysts Pty Ltd, to deliver My Career Insights.

This program will help your Year 9 child to:

  • Learn about what skills and abilities they could bring to a job.
  • Find out about what jobs match their abilities, interests and personality, and the subjects they need for those jobs.

 

As part of the program, your child will:

  • Complete a series of online questions and quizzes on the Morrisby website at school.
  • Receive a Morrisby Profile Report showing the results from the questions and quizzes, and possible jobs that match their abilities, interests and personality.
  • Have a 30 minute “unpacking” interview with a Morrisby-trained Careers Consultant, who will explain the report to your child. Parents/Families are encouraged to attend this session.  Please tell the school if you need a telephone interpreting service. 

Consent is required for your child to participate. If your child does not participate in the program, or does not complete the questions and quizzes, a Morrisby Profile Report will not be created for them.

My Career Insights will help students discover, develop and drive their career planning. It is a unique opportunity for students to learn more about their strengths and abilities while exploring potential career options – giving them the confidence to start taking control of their future. More information about the program can be found at https://www.ceav.vic.edu.au/my-career-insights/
