Student Careers
Careers Service at Daramalan
The Daramalan College careers service provides career resources and consultation, facilitates career exploration opportunities and assists students to apply their education and experiences toward advancing their career potential and engaging in self-management of the lifelong career building process.
The college Careers Advisor has the broad aim of empowering students by developing their career management competencies, so that they have the skills and knowledge to build and manage their careers throughout life. Students are provided with guidance and information on such matters as further study and work options, subject selection and tertiary entrance requirements. The Careers Advisor also coordinates the College’s work experience program for students in years 10 to 12, and other careers education activities and excursions. Daramalan College recognises that students can benefit from experience within the workplace. Work experience placements can assist students to make career decisions, gain skills and develop a greater understanding of the relevance of their studies to their careers, postschool ambitions and prospects.
There is a career and VET resource hub where careers material may be accessed, and information is available about requirements for entry to tertiary institutions. Information is also available on the Daramalan College Careers website (www.daramalancareers.com.au).
