Careers+Adviser+Support

Hi Careers Advisers Welcome to your page of the VET in WSR Wiki page. We as a VET team have been struggling with what to put up on your page that would hopefully be useful in your roles within the schools. To that end we are going to add mainly links to other web pages that we think might be useful for you. We will try and group them appropriately but sometimes that is very difficult to do. If you have any suggestions for improvement, please email one of the VET team.

Emerging Careers in Health This link connects to the resources from the 'Emerging Careers in Health' Careers Advisers Workshop held on the 30th May 2011 at Westmead Hospital. The power points have also been saved with an audio link but unfortunately for some presentations the audio is difficult to understand. Nursing as a Career This is a great page to direct students who are interested in a career as a nurse or midwife. There are video clips available where nurses are interviewed. The page aslo shows the areas that nurses can specialise in. Very good introduction for students who are interested.
