Some food for thought!!! Today’s school leavers can have up to 6 different careers in their working lifetime … and many more job changes.

The commencing age for apprentices is moving from years of age to years of age.

Provide the capacity to record vocational courses and students’ vocational experiences as well as citizenship and leadership achievements. Mr Piccoli said, The formal RoSA credential will be awarded to eligible students who choose to leave school prior to receiving their HSC, while still allowing students to view and download a transcript of their achievements when applying for jobs or further education or training. continued
