CAREER DEVELOPMENT

Career development at a national level has become a priority.  The Australian Blueprint for Career Development has provided a mapping tool to ensure all Australians, young and old, look at lifelong learning, managing change and career planning.

Industry was asked to define what skills they, as employers, identified.

Here are some of the employability skills they focused on:

• Communication and team work
• Problem Solving
• Self Management
• Planning and Organising
• Use of Technology
• Initiative
• Enterprise.

Aranmore's Careers Service provides opportunities for students to develop and practice these employability skills. We have work experience for Years Ten to Twelve and Structured Workplace Learning (OnSite Program). We also offer School Based Traineeships and School Apprenticeship Link. The aim of the Career Counsellor at Aranmore is to provide opportunities for all our students to develop and practice their employability skills.

OnSite is a structured work placement subject offered to motivate students in Years 11 and 12.  It provides students with the opportunity to learn and gain credit for work skills. It compliments/reinforces school learning and helps them to confirm or reassess their career choices.  It is recognised as a subject for graduation, can be used as additional TAFE entry points and provides students with a Skills Profile which is useful for future employers.
 
Individual career coaching is also available upon request, as well as assistance with Resume preparation.
