Work Experience 2023

We had another successful work experience year with many of our students enjoying the opportunities they had arranged. A huge benefit of the program is allowing students to experience and research an industry of interest which can assist with future subject selections. Students can also list this experience in their resume which can lead to part time work. Some interesting placements were organised this year, with some applications needing to be submitted last year. This included Melbourne Zoo, Victoria Police, Melbourne Water, Deakin University and Peninsula Health to name a few. We are very grateful for the employers who support this valuable program each year.

Baby chickens at our Clyde North campus were a cute addition to the Animal Studies session. Other activities held throughout the day included - icing biscuits, not as easy as it sounds, developing sports skills, creating a live telephone cable, musical performance by our Vet Music students and some sound production tips and donning the different PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) required for the Health Care workers. Lab skills had a rotation of various tasks such as label testing.
