VCAL
This week, Year 11 VCAL students have been getting ready for and completing their mock interviews to achieve competency in their Intermediate Work-Related Skills Outcomes. These interviews have been conducted remotely with our partners at the Outer Eastern Local Learning Employment Network (OELLEN). The feedback from students and interviewers has been overwhelmingly positive with comments like: “I feel so much more relaxed about interviews now” and “The students are able to talk about their personal attributes confidently”. Experiences like these equip our students for the realities of getting a job and builds confidence in their abilities. We are so proud of how well our students have approached this learning opportunity and wish the best of luck for the students who will be completing their interviews next week.
