Year 9 Careers Lessons – Who am I (my future)
Year 9 students have recently started their careers classes this term. These lessons are designed to encourage them to start to think about their future. Career education helps students to develop self-awareness and self-confidence in making career and education related decisions. It allows students to have the opportunity to explore the world of work and provides opportunities to investigate occupations and post school pathways.
