Work Experience
Overview
Palmview State Secondary College is excited to offer the Work Experience program
to our Year 9 cohort for the final week of Term 3 each year.
This is a chance for students to explore jobs and careers that interest them and get a real taste of what their future career could be like. It provides real-world insights into the workplace and is an invaluable experience that will help students to navigate their future pathways with confidence.
Why It's Important:
Explore Different Occupations: Get firsthand experience in roles and industries that you are interested in.
Develop New Skills: Build on your employment related skills and abilities whilst shaping character traits and social understandings which are essential for gaining future employment.
Make Informed Decisions: Discover if the career you are interested in is one you really want to purposefully pursue.
