WORK EXPERIENCE

Year 10 students completed one week Work Experience placement at the start of Term 3 and this year the most popular placements were in Health, Office & Business, Building & Construction and Retail industries.  Thank you to all the employers who supported the St Bede’s College Work Experience Program this year and an extended thank you to the following employers who offered more than 2 placements:-

 

Andrew Waters Constructions Pty Ltd; ATC Williams; Aviation Component Services; BDD Engineering; Beaumaris Vet Hospital; Bluefire Systems; Coles; Gray Nicholls; Hawthorn FC; Just Kids Furniture; Larkin Electrical; Mentone Primary School; OLA Cheltenham; OLOTA; Pacific Star Network; Rebel Sports; St Joseph’s Primary School; St Mark’s Primary School; St Patrick's Primary School; Victoria Golf Club and Waves.

 

Student feedback was very positive with the majority of students enjoying their work.  Many students had their career ideas confirmed whilst others realised that this was not the job for them.   We received many positive comments from the employers for our boy’s willingness, professionalism, contribution and their attitude towards work.

 

 

 

If you are an employer and would like to participate in the school’s Work Experience Program please contact Jill Gamble in the Careers Centre on 9582 5843 or email jg@stbedes.catholic.edu.au

 

Some of the most popular placements such as Football Clubs and Hospitals open their applications for 2016 over the coming weeks.  So, if any Year 9 student would like to get a head start for his work experience, please drop into the Careers Centre and see Mrs Gamble.  I have included the dates for next year below:

I take this opportunity to thank Mrs Gamble for all the hard work that she puts into the Work Experience Program.   I will be visiting all Year 9 students during Term 4 to introduce them to our Work Experience Program.
