Careers Report

Term 3 is off to a racing start in Careers, with Careers interviews, Information nights, subject/ course selection and we will soon begin preparation for VTAC applications in preparation for 2019.

 

It is Open Day season at universities, TAFE institutions and private tertiary provider’s .This provides a great opportunity for these institutions to open their doors, and showcase themselves to prospective students and their parents.  The Open Days are generally held on a Saturday or Sunday, so students need not take time off from school.

 

Attending a few Open Days is extremely important in making informed choices about tertiary study.  For the majority of students, they can anticipate studying at that institution for at least three years, so seeing the facilities, meeting with lecturers and current students, and getting a general ‘feel’ for the campus is very important.  Students are encouraged to attend more than one Open Day, and make sensible comparisons between the different institutions.  Many similar courses are offered at different institutions, and going to have a look at a couple, comparing the courses, the facilities, the opportunities offered, etc. 

This allows students to really get an idea of which course and institution offers the type of program they are interested in and looking for. 

It is important that students visit different Tertiary providers to see what is on offer but also to see what the campus is like; you need to carefully consider your choice of Course at Tafe or University. Like any major purchase or decision in life, you need to consider all the features and make an informed decision. 

As students begin to finalise their subject and tertiary plans over the next weeks, attending a couple of Open Days and speaking to representatives of those institutions is going to help the process enormously.  There is a compiled list of a number of Open Days taking place over the next few weeks, as well as a useful hand out on how to get the best out of attending an Open Day.  This resource has been emailed to every Year 10, 11 & 12 student, and is included in the Career News and on the Careers website http://www.scoresbysccareers.com
