myfuture Newsletter – April 2019
Welcome back to term two. myfuture would like to highlight upcoming career events, key dates as well as resources available to help your students explore their career options as they consider their options after secondary school.
Career events
Career expos are great a chance for your students to explore and help identify their interest areas. They can also find out about courses that are offered by TAFEs, Universities and training organisations in their area and determine if prerequisite subjects are required, which can help students when choosing subjects.
My career profile
To develop self-awareness for career decision-making, students can log in and complete My career profile, the career exploration tool. The short online activities will help them identify their interests, skills, values and more. After completing the activities, students will be provided with a results summary and suggested occupations along with links to courses related to the occupation.
Log in and explore the activities in My career profile.
Preparing students for working experience
Work experience provides students the chance to build on their skills and see first-hand the broad range of roles available in an industry. Encourage your Year 9 and 10 students to research their options and make contact with their preferred employer sooner rather than later. Some industries require notice up to a year in advance for work experience placements, so prepare in advance.
