The Careers office is a treasure of resources and information from Universities, TAFE, Private Registered Training Providers, as well as other agencies and organisations, for students seeking to discover their career path.

In Year 10, students undertake Career Education as part of their PD (Personal Development) program.  Students identify and compile what they see as an appropriate Senior Education and Training Plan.  From the middle of the year, they are able to participate in work experience with an arranged employer.

In Year 11 and 12, students can undertake Work Experience.  However, this is on an individual basis by negotiation, and preferably in holiday time.

In Year 12, students revisit their Senior Education and Training plans in Terms 1 and 2 in preparation for identifying an ‘Exit Plan’.  Students participate in a University Showcase and are exposed to speakers from TAFE, Universities, Private Training Providers and other external organisations.  Application assistance is available to students transitioning to post school studies or employment opportunities.

Information about the latest available opportunities is posted in the Daily Notices for the students to access during Pastoral Care.  This information is also displayed on the Careers Notice board outside the Careers Office and will appear in the Careers Corner of the College’s fortnightly newsletter.

Secondary students and parents are able to book an appointment to discuss career opportunities with Mrs Henderson.  Parents are encouraged to correspond through email lhenderson@hillcrest.qld.edu.au.   Tuesdays and Thursdays are preferred days for appointments.
