Career
Connections facilitates the delivery of programmes to
schools in all sectors (State, Catholic and Independent), enabling
businesses and schools to work together so that young people gain
knowledge of particular industries and so that industry can develop
their future workforce.
Different programs as outlined below enable industry and schools
to form closer links.
- Joint School – Industry
Projects
A business can work with an
individual school or group of schools on a joint project, such as
making a DVD on an aspect of the business’s operations.
- Taking a student for a
Workplacement
This can be for one or two weeks
and gives the student a real life experience. It also allows
the business to make links with potential future employees.
Allows you to introduce students
to your industry and your particular business.
This is a two hour structured
interview conducted with two students at your premises. The
students then make a presentation on your business to their
class. Participating businesses are recognised at the
‘Opening Doors’ event held annually.
There are a number of other programs which the LCP
facilitate.
