Full training, resources, program plan and support is provided to Vocational Mentors.

The Mentoring Matters program commenced in Term 2 in 2021 and a Mentor within the program shared, "I am really enjoying getting to know my Mentees as they slowly open up to me and inquire about my life and career journey to date."

Mentoring Roles are available in term 3 (July to September 2021) with more opportunities available in early 2022.

  • Resume refinement
  • Strategies for personal networks

The mentoring sessions are held during school hours with the class teacher in attendance.

An important part of the sessions will be mentors sharing their career paths with mentees.
