Work Experience Spotlight<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Over the holidays, Year 10 student Ruby Dib had the opportunity to take part in the biggest construction industry work experience placement program in NSW. Run by the organisation Today’s Women in Construction, this program offers a guaranteed work experience placement for any Year 10 student where students are matched with one of over 50 industry partners based on their areas of interest. Below is Ruby\u2019s reflection of her experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These holidays, I had the opportunity to complete a four-day work experience at Icon Construction, working on the North Sydney Olympic Swimming Pools. I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to have been exposed to such a wide range of roles that are all equally necessary in the construction industry. I learnt so much about construction, especially about how it is so much more complex than meets the eye. I absolutely loved being able to go on site and take part in many jobs, including mapping and annotating certain plans as well as logging defects. This experience really opened my eyes and made me realise that I really would love to pursue a role in construction, especially in a role in which I am able to both work in the background but also see the physical manifestation of my work.<\/em>

Year 10 Career Encounter<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Preparations for the Year 10 Career Encounter Program are well underway. Over the coming weeks, parents will receive information regarding the Career Encounter program via email with confirmation of your daughter\u2019s work experience details. Students have also been asked to complete Work Readiness Modules in order to receive their Work Readiness Certificate for work experience. We will continue to meet with students to ensure they are prepared before they commence their work experience placements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
