SIDE’s travelling careers incursion, The Mini Industry Roadshow, had the delightful pleasure of visiting the Western Australian Southwest region Term 2, 2024.
The Industry Roadshow SIDE trainers led an engaging hands-on sessions to students whilst attending Harvey Senior High School. The students had the opportunity to look at the industry trades of carpentry and hospitality as well as the incredible and important field of medical research.
Hospitality: Bonnie Blewitt gave an insight into Interpersonal skills relevant to the hospitality industry including communication and teamwork. Students learned how to greet customers, deliver, and take orders as well as seeing the importance of being able to work in a team.
Medical: Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research, a dedicated organisation which is tackling world health issues shared and inspired students to explore a career in medical research and STEM through firsthand fun activities.
Trades:Nathan Kell from Carpentry in Schools gave students an in-depth look at the world of a cabinet maker, with the students thoroughly enjoying being able to create and build with wood. It was a wonderful hands-on experience, where the students were able to participate in fun activities, while learning all about the process of apprenticeships, working in construction, and running your own business.
Thank you we thoroughly enjoyed being at Harvey Senior High School and we know that our industry professional SIDE trainers were able to inspire and create a positive and career pathway focused experience for the students.
