Work Experience 2022
Thursday, 2 June 2022 to Wednesday, 8 June 2022 (inclusive)
We hope COVID allows our 2022 Work Experience program can run this year during the dates listed above. Students participated in a Preparation Program last year to discuss the Work Experience requirements, provided with a lesson on how to complete this task and provided with the forms. The Careers SPACE page has a Work Experience folder located at the bottom of the page and this contains the useful information such as the previous employer listing and additional forms if they require them. Students were asked to return these forms at the commencement at the school year and we hope to receive these soon. COVID still may provide complications for some industries such as the Health Services sector. Please contact your campus Careers Coordinator with any questions you may have.
