Career Services
Wendy Calder — March 16, 2022
Subject selection, course planning, tertiary information, CV writing, job searching, interview skills, career taster day experiences, and work experience are some of the supports on offer by the Careers Department.
It is never too early to begin to explore career pathways. Labour market information is becoming increasingly important for young people to understand as they explore opportunities. Some good sites to begin this exploration are: https://www.careers.govt.nz/job-hunting/whats-happening-in-the-job-market/ https://occupationoutlook.mbie.govt.nz/
During Terms 1 and 2 the school hosts all eight universities and a variety of other providers to give students an overview of tertiary courses and pathways. This information will be advertised through the daily notices and also on the HGHS Careers/Gateway Facebook and Instagram site. https://www.facebook.com/HamiltonGirlsHighSchoolCareersDepartment
