Partnering with Skilling the Bay to offer students real career experiences

This year, we’re partnering closely with Skilling the Bay, the Geelong Region Learning & Employment Network (GRLLEN), and the Geelong Manufacturing Council to bring Geelong students even more options.

Through structured industry visits, immersive programs, and practical challenges, students can gain valuable insights into the world of work and the skills needed to thrive in it.

 

See below for all the opportunities available in 2026.

Two-day programs held at the Geelong Tech School for Year 7 & 8 students. There is one running in each of Terms 2, 3 & 4.

Small teams of students work together to tackle real-world industry challenges using everyday materials. Ideal for students ready to dive into hands-on design, collaboration, and rapid prototyping.

Over 3-4 separate days, students in years 9, 10 & 11 will be exposed to a number of workplaces related to a particular industry theme (six to choose from).

Students will get insider access to employers, industry tours, and career chats that could shape their next big move. Ideal for students curious about what comes after school, or who are ready to explore real career options.
