YEAR 10 WORK EXPERIENCE
At the end of this term our Year 10 students will be attending Work Experience with a range of local employers from a number of industries. Mrs George will contact each student about their placement and will check in with those that are self-placing for that week to confirm everything is prepared. Students can contact Mrs George directly if they have any questions.
CAREERS EXPO
The College will be hosting it's annual Careers Expo on Thursday 8th June this year, combined with information sessions on our Junior & Senior Pathways for students & parents/carers. This forum is perfect for those keen to learn more about our Year 10-12 subjects. Invitations and further details will be available next term. We are still adding businesses to this Careers Expo so if you, your family, or friends have organisations that would be interested in hosting a free stall during the event, they can register to our Business Network via https://forms.office.com/r/dtV2yPCfUN
CAREERS, APPRENTICESHIPS & TRAINEESHIPS
A number of opportunities are opening up from local businesses looking for students to join them across a number of industries. Students are encouraged to keep an eye on our website www.ripleyvalleystatesecondarycollegecareers.com for any positions that may currently be available or that may become available throughout the year. I'd also encourage students to make an appointment with Mrs George in the library if they wish to discuss any opportunities of interest.
