Career Education

 

The Dubbo College Careers Team helps students with their college course selection and their decisions about career paths. The Careers Advisers are responsible for a range of career activities.Career Education in schools is concerned with the development of skills, attitudes and understandings through a planned program of learning experiences which assist students to make informed decisions about school and post school options and enable them to participate effectively in work life.

 

Career Education is confronted with the need to prepare students for the changing conditions to the nature of work and training in the 21st Century.
Through career education we are attempting to provide students with the knowledge, skills and attitudes, which will give them the ability to meet the challenges.

 

The role of the Careers Adviser is not only to guide students with their career choices and subject choices but also to link with local employers and tertiary education personnel such as TAFE and university, which are an important source of information for students.
