Using our dedicated careers website, our students can find information on VTAC, Universities, work experience placements, resumes and cover letter samples.
Year 10’s are encouraged to have their work experience placement confirmed by the beginning of Term 2. Please apply for as many places as possible, as you may not get your first choice. You don’t want to miss out on a great week!
All year 10 students are required to participate in the Work Experience Program.
The Work Experience Program is part of JMSS’s educational program, where students experience working life, often for the first time. Year 10 students find placements within industries that they want to explore and find out more about. They spend one week with an employer to provide insight into the industry and the workplace in which they are located, observe what employers are doing, and learn about the duties of the job. Students are placed with employers primarily to observe, learn, and ask questions. Most students get to participate in hands-on projects.
Students usually participate in placements at the end of Term 2. Students are encouraged to look for a placement towards the end of Year 9 and early Year 10.
JMSS assists students with finding placements, and also encourages them to find their own placement in an area of interest. Some organisations we deal with and assist students in finding a placement in are Monash University, Agilent Technologies, Swinburne Uni, Pathology Labs, The Ritchie Centre - Institute of Medical Research, ARNI, Conservation Volunteers and many more.
If you are a work experience candidate, we would like to provide the most enjoyable and beneficial experience possible.
As an equal opportunity employer, JMSS is committed to providing and maintaining a non-discriminatory work environment regardless of disability, gender, race, religion or sexual orientation.
