Careers

At Hurstville Boys Campus we offer effective careers development to engage students with leading industry partners and vocational resources.

Our aim is to promote a culture of motivation, enjoyment, collaboration and adaptability, while ensuring individual needs are met.

  

Work Experience

Work Experience 

 

Work experience activities are strongly focused on practical and industry skill development within a broad range of fields. In particular, a large number of year 10 students participate. Outcomes include skill development, industry networking and further opportunities for study or employment.

Quality work experience placements are made possible thanks to our industry partners within the business community. For example, this year Yamaha will provide 15 placements. Participants will learn about mechanical repair, parts interpreting, sales and administration roles. Boys will be involved in activities both at the Yamaha facility at Wetherill Park, and at Ultimo TAFE. This is a highly valuable opportunity for boys with relevant interest and skills.
