The World Of Work: Health and Community Services Program
Clonard College took 15 successful applications to Day 1 of a Health Industry Immersion Program focusing on the Health and Community Services sector, one of the largest and fastest growing industries in our region.
This program has been designed for secondary students in year 10 and gives access to current health and community services, an opportunity to meet people who work in the industry and explore career pathways to help our students make informed career choices.
This program raises awareness of the diversity of careers in the Health and Community Services sector and the pathways that can begin at school and continue beyond school.
Students were at the Gordon Tafe where they were involved in simulated health training activities and participated in workshops with nurses, learning to take oxygen levels, blood pressure and other clinical skills. We then moved onto the VFA where students participated in practical workshops in nursing, allied health and fitness.
This is a wonderful opportunity for our students, and we are excited to be visiting a hospital site for Day 2 of the program.
