This week 58 Year 10 students have been out in the “real world” of work, experiencing a wide variety of occupations in over 96 workplaces in and around Launceston, in other parts of the state, and on the mainland.   Teaching, veterinary science, IT, trades, hospitality, business, agriculture, health professions, architecture, engineering … the huge variety of career options being investigated during our work experience week has given students the opportunity to “test drive” future career ideas, as well as providing opportunities for valuable learning about education and training pathways.  This experience inevitably results in students returning to school with a renewed appreciation of the value and relevance of their learning, in preparation for their TCE years and beyond.
