Structured Workplace Learning Opportunities

Our Year 11 and 12 students are now a few weeks into their VET Courses at various TAFEs all over Melbourne. Some of those students are completing the Vocational Major alongside those VET courses are beginning to explore opportunities for Structured Workplace Learning to coincide with what they are learning at TAFE.

We’re looking to our Beaumaris Community to see if we have any business contacts in the following spaces that might be interested to take a student on for one day a week for a semester - see list below! Please email jack.crameri@education.vic.gov.au

The students we have looking for placement are completing courses in the following spaces and are looking for placement within those industries.

2 students completing a Certificate III in Information Technology (Cyber Security) looking for placements in IT.
1 student completing a Certificate II in Events looking for placement in the events industry.

Apprenticeship Opportunities

As the school reached capacity this year, with our first cohort of Year 12’s, we are now approaching a time where a number of our students are exploring opportunities to enter the workforce, either through a full-time apprenticeship or a school-based apprenticeship.

If our Beaumaris Community knows of any of these opportunities that are available, it would be great if you could email jack.crameri@education.vic.gov.au who can hopefully help place some of our students into our communities workforce.

We’re currently looking for apprenticeship opportunities in the following industries and regions to take on Beaumaris students through a school-based apprenticeship (SBAT).

My Deakin observations:

Understanding option for plenty of courses and industries, including being a leader in a number of really popular university choices.
Deakin has 4 campus locations, 1 in Burwood, 2 in Geelong and 1 in Warrnambool. This presents some great opportunities but also some challenges, as some courses are only run at Geelong, which would mean relocation if those courses were options for some of our students.
The data about student experience and satisfaction is important, especially when you're considering 3 or more years of your life will be heavily associated with this institution.
