This is an excellent resource for all Year 11 and Year 12 students, who are nearly ready to enter the full time workforce. Even if you already have had part-time employment out of school hours, this course is an incredibly fantastic resource for you in obtaining and maintaining full-time employment.

The course I have tailored down specifically for my students is one of common workplace logic, interest and workplace learning.

My input experience has come from my working background starting:

In retail straight from High School, I did not know what I really wanted to do and needed some working with people experience. Though I had worked in the school holidays on my father's delivery run, I felt I needed more. I also worked part-time on Saturdays at my mother's service station - pumping gas and doing lubes.

Then to hydraulic engineering in sales and costing, with a huge pay increase.

Then to shipping (primarily in Australia and South East Asia).

Then as an employer of many hundreds of ex High School students in a large company environment.

Then ultimately operating my own company in shipping and freight forwarding, in Sydney.

Then as a photo journalist for two rural newspapers, working with schools, in the Coffs Harbour area . I am also a professional photographer, from the start of my working years.

My first University Diploma in Export Management was completed in my early twenties, as a M.A.I.Ex.

My Diploma in Shipping was completed also in my twenties.

Then academically - as a university student with a double degree, one in Multimedia (BEdMM) and the other in High School Teaching - Design and Technology with a Multimedia specialisation (BTechED).

Then finally as a High School teacher of eight subjects. (Design and Technology, Multimedia, Information Technology, Entertainment, HSIE, English, Computers in Music and Work Study Skills.
