Claire Pech – Careers Advisor

Welcome back to another busy and exciting year for all things related to careers! This week we begin the information evenings for each Year, and I always like to share what support is available for students.

For those that have missed any of this information here is a reminder for students to start their research:

1. JobJump.com.au (password emanuel)
2. emanuelschoolcareers.com (hub of all careers info)
3. uac.edu.au (University Admissions Centre)
4. workstudygrow.com.au (password EMS0219)
5. compared.edu.au (a good comparison website tool for courses)
6. lifelauncher.nsw.gov.au (great to check out all things careers)
7. https://joboutlook.gov.au/ another great site with a few quizzes and data on jobs that are out there
8. https://calendly.com/clairepechcareers/ This is how any student or parent can book in a chat with me. Bookings can be made for the following week. I can see parents via Zoom.

For anyone who would like a recap on my careers talk on Wednesday evening here is the video.

Year 10’s

Next week we will be career testing with Career Avenues to get some great insights into all things career related. This is the start of the conversation with our Year 10 cohort. It is critical that all Year 10’s bring with them a fully charged laptop as they will be on it from Period 1 to Period 6. More information can be found here.
