WORK EXPERIENCE PROGRAM
Our secondary student Work Experience Program is offered to school based students in Years 10-12.
Central Gippsland Health recognises the importance of work experience in assisting students to prepare for their future careers, encouraging and promoting the exploration of health industry roles to secondary students. The primary purpose is to enable students the opportunity to observe and learn in the workplace (but not to undertake activities which require extensive training or experience). Ensuring patient privacy and safety are maintained.
It is a valuable opportunity to:
-
Develop employability skills
-
Explore possible career paths
-
Understand employer expectations
-
Increase the student’s self-understanding, maturity, independence and self-confidence.
The program is run three times a year in the following areas:
-
Dietetics
-
Medical Imaging
-
Medicine
-
Nursing
-
Occupational Therapy
-
Pharmacy
-
Physiotherapy
-
Speech Pathology
This is a highly sought-after program with limited placements available each session, and we encourage students to apply early to avoid missing out on this valuable opportunity.
