Year 9 Kicked Goals as They Commenced Their Career Journey

MMCRC were provided with the opportunity to support our Year 9 cohort with the launch of the PRIME Careers Program at the beginning of this week. MAS Experience, a Careers provider delivered a Federal Government funded pilot program to each Homeroom group, they spent a double period with expert career practitioners exploring the different Senior study pathways: VCE, VCE VM and VET; and post-school pathways: apprenticeships, traineeships, TAFE and University study. https://masexperience.com.au/

We learnt that the Key Success Factors when investigating career pathways are:

People who make a successful start to their career with an apprenticeship or traineeship have:

Done their research about what is involved
Understand the job they are interested in
Have done a pre-apprenticeship or related vocational course in school
Have done some work experience and enjoyed the work
Have an aptitude for and physical ability to do the work
Enjoy learning things through practical hands-on experience
But also have the study skills to complete the formal training
Enjoy the support of their family and friends with their career choices
Are realistic about the demands of full-time work and study
Prefer to earn whilst they learn and are committed to completing the training

People who make a successful start to their career with a University course have:

Done their research about what is involved
Understand the job/s they are interested in
Have done related courses and enjoyed the study
Enjoy learning things through reading books, attending classes or through online learning
Enjoy the support of their family and friends with their career choices
Are realistic about the demands of full-time study
Have achieved the results required to get into the course they have chosen
Are committed to completing the training

At the end of each session students have been provided with a PRIME MyCareer Report, sharing three career possibilities, an individualised career journey summary, results and recommendations.
