Industry
On 1 May a group of Koonung Secondary students had the opportunity to join students from other local schools to participate in the Speed Industry Immersion hosted by the Gateway LLEN and City of Whitehorse.
The Speed Industry Immersion brought young people and industry representatives together providing students the opportunity to learn more about different industries and practice interview skills. Students moved around a room networking with a wide range of industries such as event management, trades, health, IT and Media, asking them questions about what they did, skills they need, and employment opportunities.
“Good experience for students who are unsure of what they would like to do” Georgia
“It was really interesting to get to talk to the employers and get to understand what they do everyday” Holly
