CAREERS CAROUSEL 2009

The first of four Careers Carousel for 2009 was held on the 20th of March at Murdoch University and proved to be a great success; providing a direct and informative industry career resource for nearly 65 students from various participating schools in our local region. There were six industries ((greatifully)) represented.

Transport and Logistics: Australian Wool Handlers

Defence: Defence Force Recruiting

Community Services: Bridging the Gap Inc

Retail: Woolworths

Information Technology: Raytheon

Brick/Block Laying: Australian Brick & Block Laying Training Foundation

Feedback from students, their teachers and the presenters indicates that the Carousel was a positive experience for all.

Our thanks go to these companies that gave their time to represent their industry and for providing young people with an informed insight into possible career pathways within their industry. Thanks also go to the participating schools that supported the Careers Carousel and we look forward to seeing you at the next Careers Carousel.
