The successful transition of students from school to the workforce, further education and training is a major issue faced by Australian students, schools, employers and tertiary education organisations. The Work Studies syllabus is designed to assist students in their transition from school to work. It develops knowledge and understanding of the issues faced by students in the transition to work and the skills needed for effective career planning and performance of tasks in the work environment. (source: p5 Work Studies Stage 6 Content Endorsed Syllabus, 2012).
A valuable part of the Work Studies course is the Experiencing Work component. Students gain hands on, practical, industry-based experience in PROPEL, delivered one day a week through the Industry Immersion program. Students liaise with the school and an industry partner to gain valuable skills in a field of their choice. Over the course of Year 11 and 12, students will engage in three Industry Immersion blocks, giving them an opportunity to experience a range of career options as they prepare to launch into life after school.
