Careers and Transition pathways

Careers objective

Our careers program aims to prepare the students to be the managers of their own careers. We teach them to be adaptable, resourceful and resilient lifelong learners who can successfully negotiate the challenges they will encounter in the 21st-century workplace.

Careers and transition at Jamison High School

Our careers and transition team caters to the broad range of vocational opportunities for our students. We build students skills in three key areas:

  1. Personal management
    building and maintaining a positive self-concept
  2. Learning and work exploration
    locate and effectively use career information
  3. Career building
    understand, engage in and manage the career-building process

Our program consists of three key principles:

  1. Planning

  2. Preparation
    attending careers expos, information sessions, open days, making enquiries, preparing applications, meeting application deadlines, resume` updating and maintaining an e-portfolio.
