Job Jump Mount Clear College
Date: Thursday 23rd
Time: 8:45am - 1:30pm

I’m pleased to announce that Job Jump is returning to  Mount Clear College again after amazing success last year.

I am hoping that you might be interested in coming along and being able to talk about your industry/career, how you got to where you are, what skills and interests are useful in your industry and maybe network with other local Inudstry Mentors.

It would be amazing😊 if you could come along to a day and you would be a superstar ✨ if you could come along to both!

“Job Jump” is a fun, innovative way to showcase your industry. This activity is designed to give Year 8 students an introduction into multiple industries (both familiar and unfamiliar). Students engage with industry mentors in small groups of 6-8 students, giving them a real opportunity to talk, investigate and learn. “Job Jump” will showcase different industries, allow students to interact with industry and higher education mentors and learn more about different jobs and career journeys. Mentors will engage with students through both conversation and some interactive, “hands on” activities to maximise student engagement. It is designed to be a fun introduction into life after school. 

 

Student cohort

Entire Year 8 cohort spread over 2 sessions (approx. 150 students in total)

Address of Activity

Mount Clear College 59 Olympic Ave, Mount Clear

Time of activity

8:45 – 1:30pm (2 sessions)

Role of Volunteer

We are looking for industry mentors to meet, network and share their career journey with a group of students.

  • Mentors will be asked to set up a table that students will visit (expo style)with an activity or may have round table discussions with groups of 6-8 students that rotate every 10 minutes.
  • Mentors are requested to bring an interactive activity with them to be completed by students (something tactile and hands on) For example – bringing a tangible object with you to help explain what you do or your industry.
  • Mentors will need to be comfortable working with this young age who may have limited capacity to take in technical details of different jobs. It would be best to engage the students in something fun and interactive, for example a demonstration
  • Volunteers will be required to hold a Working With Children Check (apply here) and uphold our commitment to child safety and protection.
