Careers News – Choosing Your Career

Asking “What contribution do you want to make?” can be a great question for students to consider when thinking about the future. There are so many challenges in the world and the United Nations Sustainable Development goals are an excellent resource for students to explore these further.

We are excited to add a new career resource for Shore families called The Careers Department. The resource is available under Work Engagement on the Careers Lampada page. This platform showcases over 800 pieces of content for students to gain deeper insights into the world of work. Examples of articles include: How to get a Job at a Big Four Accounting Firm, The Truth About Studying Exercise Science, Job Prospects for a Future Lawyer, What to Expect Inside an Engineering Degree, and A Site Tour with a Residential Builder.

Below is a snippet of the virtual work experience page.

Students can invite parents to their account or parents can sign up using their child’s email (with their permission).

This Term, we are looking forward to supporting Year 10 students during their Work Engagement Week. Thank you to families for submitting the required paperwork. A handful of students have opted to undertake virtual work experience which will utilise The Careers Department platform above.

The latest Careers Newsletter is available on the Careers Lampada page.
