Claire Pech – Careers Advisor
Welcome back to another busy term of careers at Emanuel School. What do we have on the agenda this term?
Firstly, for Year 12’s, let’s look at the program for Term 2. I find for Year 12s this can be quite a “deciding” term for them. Usually students who have not wanted to consider tertiary courses and careers, tend to realise they need to start in this term. I also host a variety of speakers who come out to talk to our students. This term the Year 12 schedule is almost locked in and consists of the following:

HSC Careers Expo
Another very important date for the calendar for anyone in Year 11 and Year 12 and parents alike is the HSC Careers Expo that is run every year at the Entertainment Quarter. This event is open for four days from Thursday 3 June 2021 to Sunday 6 June 2021. Entry is $12 and participants can get a pass out for the whole four days. Every type of tertiary institution presents here, including all of the services industry, the armed forces, private colleges, trade schools, all universities, bespoke colleges such as Le Cordon Blue cooking school, and everything in between. It can be overwhelming, as there are so many exhibitors but well worth attending, especially to give you some ideas.
