Jumpstart is a program designed to provide Year 10 students with the opportunity to develop employability skills, to help students identify a suitable career pathway and provide them with real world experience in their chosen career pathways. These programs support students to develop their workplace skills and knowledge in a secure and supported environment whilst continuing their secondary school education. There are two options for Jumpstart courses.
Jumpstart Careers
Jumpstart Careers provides a unique opportunity for students to combine a Certificate I in Employment Pathways with a Workplace Learning experience one-day per week off campus (student sourced). The Certificate I in Employment Pathways includes units to instruct students on how to develop skills for different career pathways and prepare for the working environment. Students will learn how to develop personal effectiveness, communicate in the workplace, complete a First Aid certificate, and develop an action plan for career planning. The Workplace Learning component of this course enables students to gain credit towards their WACE certification (55 - 109 hours = 1 unit, 110 - 164 hours = 2 units).
This course is suitable to students looking to identify a career/study pathway for their senior school years and beyond. This course is a year-long course that equates to two options, one in Semester 1 and one in Semester 2. Students must complete both options and cannot just complete one Semester of this course. An elective cost applies to this course which will be added to the school fees.
