Career Planning Seymour is committed to an extensive Careers Education program. From Year 10 onwards students are encouraged to discover as much as they can about vocations of interest to them. Students are involved in a semester unit of career investigation that incorporates two Vocational Educational modules, Job Seeking Skills and Writing Skills for Work. Students visit the Centrelink Careers Information Centre and attend a Careers Night to hear speakers on a variety of careers. In Year 11 all students spend at least one week on work experience and are responsible for arranging this with the help of the Careers Counsellor. At the conclusion of their placement, they participate in discussions to maximise the benefits gained through work experience. In Year 12 students are encouraged to seek further work experience during vacations. All Year 12 students have private appointments with the Careers Counsellor to discuss their tertiary or vocational aspirations. A Seymour education offers a sound basis for entry into the workforce, either straight from school or following tertiary study.   RETURN TO TOP OF PAGE
