Schools and parents in PACT

5 AUGUST 2014

Charles Sturt University and GOTAFE will host two evening workshops in August to provide parents, guardians, grandparents and carers with up-to-date information about educational pathways beyond high school. The free workshops are offered to parents through the Careers and Pathways network partnership between Charles Sturt University, Northeast Tracks LLEN, and high schools in Wangaratta, Benalla and surrounding areas. CSU Schools Outreach Coordinator Ms Anne Geddis said the program helps carers support their children effectively "when they're making those important career transition decisions for secondary school and beyond". The first workshop on Wednesday 6 August between 6 and 8 pm will include discussion, practical exercises, printed handbook and opportunities for carers to work with schools and other parents on such varied topics as Finding a place to start, learning to use the Job Guide and connecting skills. The second workshop at the same time on Wednesday 13 August will investigate training and further education options such as apprenticeships, traineeships, TAFE and university, the employment market, and interview and job seeking skills. Both workshops will be held at the GOTAFE - CSU Rural Skills Centre, Tone Road, Wangaratta. For details, contact Ms Anne Geddis on 0417 629 294.
