Term 1 of 2024 has experienced increased interest in MWLP’s Entry Level Academy and its Transition to Work Program. Intakes from Elderslie High School and Airds High School have been completed while students from John Therry High School and Mount Annan High School will be completed this Term.
Coordinator of the Program, Dr Greg Kerr said ‘we have benefited from the feedback of students, schools, and industry partners’. MWLP hosts the Program at its Campbelltown premises with two days of training and site visits in Week 1, continuing for 3 days in Week 2, a week of work experience in Week 3 and a review day in Week 4. There is flexibility in the delivery of the Program to allow students to meet school and other commitments.
Dr Kerr said ‘participants ranged from Years 9 to 12. Our priority is to aid the transition from school to work. This includes assisting youth identify their full potential, encourage youth to realise their own responsibility in managing this transition, and appreciate the extent of employment opportunities in the Macarthur Region and surrounds.’
Since it’s inception, more than 100 students have undertaken the program with work experience opportunities in the retail, automotive, construction, carpentry, animal care, electrical, childcare, hospitality, health and fitness industries.
Outcomes of the program include a better understanding of the recruitment process, an improved level of employability, and job offers.
