Did you know that the Health and Community Services sector is Geelong’s largest and fastest-growing industry?
This hands-on program, designed for Geelong students in years 9, 10 & 11, gives you the chance to explore a wide range of careers, from helping people in hospitals to supporting communities in everyday life. You’ll take part in fun and interactive activities like industry tours, online modules, and Q&A sessions with real professionals who’ll share how they got started and what their jobs are really like.
You’ll also build skills that can help you in any job, and learn about training options that can kickstart your career. With support from awesome local organisations like Barwon Health, Epworth Geelong, and Ambulance Victoria, this is your chance to discover what’s possible, and maybe even find your future.
