Youth Central

About 80% of all job vacancies are not advertised, so it is crucial that you market yourself to businesses with an excellent resume and cover letter.

Make sure you tell as many people as possible that you are looking for work as often employers rely on ‘word of mouth’ to recruit for their positions.

For excellent job seeking tips, check out the resources at Victoria Youth Central www.youthcentral.vic.gov.au .

Youth Central is the Victorian Government's website for young people aged 12-25, filled to overflowing with great information and articles about:

Lilydale High School Careers Website

The LHS Careers webiste contains a large amount of information and should be your first stop when you are looking for information on: jobs, careers, university and TAFE related courses and much more.

The site has a specific area where students can log into and complete skills and interest tests, create resumes and cover letters.

School Leaving Age

From January 1st 2010, the Government brought in new requirements for the school leaving age.

Before a student is allowed to leave school they must satisfactorily complete Year 10 and until the age of 17, they must be in some form of full time training or employment.

Training options can include:

VCE

Full Time TAFE
Apprenticeship

Any students wishing to leave school before these requirements are met must put in a request for exemption to the Regional Director in consultation with Lilydale High School.

Students leaving school before the end of Year 12, are required to fill in an EXIT FORM and complete a Careers appointment.

Leaving school or not attending school can result in non-payment of Centrelink benefits.
