Exceptional Year 10 Career Path Planning Mock Interviews Day

our incredible business partners

An outstanding Mock Interview Day for Year 10 was held with the incredible support of 29 business partners from across a diverse landscape of industries. Year 10 students prepared for Mock Interviews all year. In Term 1 they had a ‘Resume Preparation’ lesson and were given templates and access to resume building software. In Term 2, a team from United Way delivered lessons on ‘Interview Skills and Techniques’ and in Term 3 students were briefed on the organisation and procedures for the Mock Interview Day (including appointments and expectations). This forms part of Career Path Planning with the Mock Interview process taking place in August/September as part of our Student Future Framework.

The valued process also involves students developing a Career Path Plan in Year 10 that is reviewed in Year 11 and 12. Students use this in selecting courses of study in Year 11 and 12, for setting goals and developing a strategy and commitment for entry into university, other training and employment.

Thank you to our incredible business partners for giving of their valuable time and expertise to support the aspirations, dreams and goals of our young people as they prepare to enter Year 11 on a path to secure a bright and successful future in the world beyond school. Thank you to: UTS, United Way, Multiplex, AON, NAB, Komatsu, Macquarie Technology Group, Expertec, John Holland, Optus, Ai Group Apprentices, Dolly Parton Imagination Library, NSW Premiers Department, Parramatta Dental, UNSW, Jodie Taylor Coaching and Consulting and Minter Ellison.
