WORK PLACEMENT PARTNERSHIPS

• MWLP is a not-for-profit organisation focused on engaging a community of stakeholders to support youth in their personal and professional career development. Their program places HSC students into the workforce for placements each year. 
• Integrated Work and Learning Programs (IWLP) work closely with local schools, Registered Trade Organisations and employers to coordinate work placement for students across the Illawarra, Southern Highlands, Shoalhaven and far South Coast regions. 
• The Youth Partnership was formed to help young people make the successful transition from school to work or further education. Through our ongoing relationships with employers across Sydney, they coordinate work placements for students studying Vocational Education and Training (VET) courses as part of their HSC.

In addition, we are pleased to have Plumpton High School join the ACBC EVET Program!

Striking a balance between the commitments of your study and employment can be daunting and overwhelming.

While there are a great deal of benefits to managing both, a lifestyle involving work and study takes a bit of planning and organisation. We’ve compiled a few tips for you to better balance these undertakings.

1. Optimise your time

Improving your time management skills will allow you to complete tasks while leaving room for others. Commutes to your places of work and education, as well as lunch breaks, can be opportune times to watch lectures, research for assignments or read over notes.

2. Use a calendar for organisation

You need to be organised in both your work and your study if you are to balance the two lifestyles. Compiling your professional, academic and personal commitments, dates and deadlines into one calendar will help you stay on top of everything and prevent you from double booking.

3. Communicate with your network

Talk with your employer, educators, friends and family about your tight schedule to ensure they know when you are available. Your place of employment may even have some support options available, such as employer-funded training, study leave and flextime. By explaining to your employer how your study goals could enhance your current role, you may find they are more accommodating than you realise.

If you are looking for advice on managing work and study commitments, book a one-on-one appointment with one of our ACBC Careers Advisors.

The Learn + Diploma program at Caroline Chisholm College is in its third year in 2022 and we are thrilled to be delivering this program to year 11 and 12 students.

Learn + Diploma is a multi-level pathway learning journey that enables students to leave school with valuable, work-ready credentials and seamless articulation into highly sought-after undergraduate degrees at top-rated universities or the ability to go straight into full-time work in their chosen careers. 

ACBC has the flexibility to work within an existing high school structure. We have worked closely with state, secondary, and Catholic schools to provide information on EVET pathways to students since opening our doors in 1996. Our experience in delivering EVET and SBAT has demonstrated the flexibility to ensure that EVET learning requirements are continually aligned with school delivery and curriculum.

At ACBC, our mission is to prepare students for rewarding futures, no matter where their paths lead them.

Get your students equipped with valuable, workplace-ready skills by partnering with ACBC today.

If you left school without achieving the results you need to enter a specific course of study or a particular career field, don’t let that hold you back.

So you didn’t get the ATAR you were aiming for – now what? 

While many Universities see this score as a key predictor of success in tertiary education, your ATAR does not take into account many other factors and skills that can take you where you want to be in life.

ACBC has a waived ATAR requirement, making vocational skills training accessible to those of all abilities. Rather than focusing on your school scores, at ACBC we focus on student performance at the qualification level. 

Whether your goal is to get to University or launch your career, ACBC breaks down the barriers that stand between you and your future. Every aspect of our college supports you in your study journey and goals. 

With a dedicated Work Placement team and Careers Advisors, ACBC will guide you every step of the way.

If your goal is to continue your studies before entering the workforce, you can gain credit transfer towards undergraduate degrees with various Australian universities. ACBC has direct affiliation with several universities. Learn more about our University Pathways here.

All our qualifications are paired with hands-on work experience. This means that when you graduate from our College, you will not only have a Nationally Recognised Qualification, but also relevant industry experience that will help to accelerate your opportunities.

Book a one-on-one meeting with our Careers Advisors to learn how ACBC can help you plan your pathway to University or achieve your future career goals. 

After almost two years of predominately remote learning, ACBC is thrilled to be returning to on-campus learning in 2022.

While online learning offered a convenient and flexible method of education throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, students have been missing out on the benefits of in-person learning in recent years.

As our world transitions back to a state of “normalcy”, face-to-face learning will offer our students key advantages such as better connections, a wider variety of learning styles and higher levels of engagement which results in better course outcomes and completion.

At ACBC, learning does not stop at academic education. We believe that developing interpersonal connections and building relationships is key to entering the workforce and creating a network of like-minded individuals. In-person learning allows students to deeply engage with one another, make meaningful connections and support each other in studies. This socialisation will set students up for success when it’s time for them to take on a traineeship, enrol in a work placement program, and most importantly, enter the corporate world.

Many of our students attend campus even on days that they do not have a scheduled class to study for a course and connect with peers. We are looking forward to seeing more of this community connection in the year ahead.

The transition back to an in-person learning environment can seem daunting after a lifestyle based online. If you’re feeling uneasy about returning to campus life this year, reach out to our friendly and supportive Careers Advisors who can help ease any worries and find a program and schedule that will work well for you.

While online learning will remain an important offering as part of the ACBC Course Curriculum in 2022 and beyond, we are excited about our students having the opportunity to use the facilities on-campus that will no doubt enhance their learning experience, development and interpersonal skills.

To find out more about what studying at on campus at ACBC could look like for you in 2022, reach out to one of our friendly Careers Advisors.
