Year 9 Career Industry Dinner 2023
On the evening of 10 May, 20 Year 9 students from the College attended the Dalby BEST Group initiative with the aim of connecting students with local employers to discuss careers and future opportunities in the workforce. During the evening, the Year 9 students engaged with employers, business owners and other professionals discussing pathways into careers that the students are interested in pursuing post school education. The evening also provided a question-and-answer session where students and parents could ask questions of the guest panel from an array of careers and experiences in the workforce. The students gained some valuable insights into pathways and opportunities available for those who gain employment in trades, professions, and higher education. Congratulations to the Dalby BEST Group for holding such an informative and engaging opportunity for our Year 9 students.
