WORK EXPERIENCE - Year 10

The Work Experience program at Galen enables students to explore and experience the world of work.

Students are encouraged to find and organise their own placements. Placements with parents, relatives & existing employers are not recommended as the student gains more benefit from meeting new challenges in new environments. In general, students observe different aspects of work within the industry and may assist with tasks allocated by their supervisor.

Given the rapidly changing nature of work, every involvement a student has in the world of work is an opportunity to enhance the students’ awareness and understanding and contribute to his/her portfolio of skills. Hopefully this program will be a success for all involved.
