How Supportive - Work Choice Day

Organised in conjunction with Work Choice Trust, May 21 is Work Choice day for Year 12 and 13 students. Several groups of students will be spending the day finding out what it is like ‘on the inside’ and speaking to the experts. Groups are visiting Ormiston Hospital (health), MicroSoft and TradeMe (ITC), Well Connected Alliance and Babbage Consultants (engineering/architecture), Pacific Steel and Fletcher Easy Steel (trades) and Vitaco Health and Coca Cola Amatil (food tech).

Howick College understands that there is a wide variety of options open to students after high school and our dedicated careers department work hard to help students work through their tertiary study or career. Work Choice Day is just one of the many opportunities they provide for students to speak to tertiary and industry representatives, attend open days and visit workplaces.  Work experience days are also arranged by Careers and offer a valuable insight to life after school.   
We hope all Senior students will take advantage of the wealth of information and help available to them from the Careers department – pop in and see them in T10.
