Year 11 Employability Skills Guest Speakers

On Monday 4th April our Year 11s were privileged to have Johanna Apostolopoulos and Vicki Smith from MEGT come to present on Employability Skills.

Johanna is a Career and Recruitment Consultant with MEGT (an apprenticeship network provider) and has previously worked as a teacher and Careers Advisor in a Secondary School.

Topics covered included;

· What are Apprenticeships and Traineeships?

· Opportunities available to students now and in the future.

· Employability Skills: what are employers looking for?

· Job hunting strategies, tools, and resources.

· Creating an account with MEGT to have access to a Career Quiz, Skills Assessment and     Cover Letter and Resume resources.

This presentation helped dispel the myth that Uni is the only way to build a successful career! 

Australian Apprenticeships get you trained, paid, AND qualified. An apprenticeship or traineeship gives you on the job experience employers look for.
