At Montague School, we recognise the importance of providing students with valuable work experience opportunities to complement their academic learning and prepare them for the realities of the workforce. Work experience is an integral part of our educational program, designed to equip students with the skills, knowledge, and confidence necessary for success in their future careers.
Through our work experience program, students have the opportunity to gain hands-on experience in real workplace environments, explore various industries, and develop essential employability skills. We partner with a diverse range of businesses, organisations, and community partners to offer meaningful work placements that align with students’ interests, goals, and aspirations.
Our work experience placements are carefully selected to ensure that students are exposed to diverse job roles, tasks, and responsibilities relevant to their chosen career pathways. Whether students are interested in healthcare, technology, engineering, hospitality, or any other field, we strive to provide tailored placements that enable them to explore their interests and passions.
During their work experience placements, students have the opportunity to:
- Apply theoretical knowledge gained in the classroom to practical, real-world situations.
- Develop essential workplace skills such as communication, teamwork, problem-solving, and time management.
- Gain insights into industry trends, practices, and expectations.
- Build professional networks and establish connections with industry professionals.
- Receive guidance, feedback, and mentorship from experienced supervisors.
Our dedicated team of educators and career counsellors support students throughout their work experience journey. We provide pre-placement preparation sessions, ongoing guidance and support during placements, and post-placement reflections to help students maximise their learning and growth.
