Year 10 students are encouraged to seek work experience this year. The true value of work experience is to gain a taste-tester of occupations while also helping students gain workplace confidence, build on their work readiness skills and most importantly build relationships with businesses in the local area. It's a great way to build their resume and start a list of future referees.
