From Careers Desk
In the lead up to the National Careers Week, from 15 May the College is involved in several careers’ activities. There are 20 Year 9 students attending the Dalby BEST Group Career Industry Dinner on 10May. This will be an opportunity for these students to engage with employers and industry leaders from the region to gain an insight into the opportunities for young people and their career path in the future.
Year 10 students will be attending work experience in Week 9 of this term. The Year 10 cohort has been busily communicating with their host employers for this exciting time of their career journey.
I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate Year 12 student, Jacob Utz on his nomination for the Queensland Training Awards for 2023. Jacob will attend an interview on 3 May as a requirement for the next stage of these training awards. This is on the back of Jacob’s attendance to the Sydney University Indigenous Australian Engineers School held in January 2023 and his apprenticeship with Baker Rossow Consulting Engineers. Good luck Jacob, we wish you all the best for your nomination.
Year 10 Work Experience – Work Experience Agreements.
During Week 10 of Term 1, the Year 10 students were given the Work Experience Agreements to take back to their host employer. These contracts are required to be signed by the employer, parent and student and returned to the College Office or the Careers Office by the end of Week 3 of Term 2.
