Welcome to Careers & Pathways at Mac.Rob!

At Mac.Rob, we work closely with students throughout their school life to provide them with the understanding and information they need to make informed decisions about their education, training and employment beyond Year 12. Mac.Rob's Careers Program is structured to foster thinking, learning, and research about possible courses and careers.

A careers curriculum is in place across Years 9-12, helping develop self-awareness and employment related skills, and an understanding of the world of work and tertiary options. Mock Interviews and a 4-day Work Experience Program is offered in Year 10 and all students are encouraged to participate.

The careers program has a key focus each year upon which the student's careers curriculum and activities are aligned:

As each student is unique, career advice is tailored to their individual needs throughout their schooling. Students are counselled in Year 10 in their Senior Years Program and every student at Year 12 level will have a one-on-one Pathway Planning interview at a minimum.

Our career development activities are guided by a professionally qualified Careers Coordinator, Amber Monro, who provides comprehensive career information to students and families on options for their future, and supports them through the transition from school to further study or the workplace. The Careers Coordinator works closely with teaching staff to deliver an interactive careers curriculum, and also overseas our Distance Education students and VET students.

Careers hosts and shares annually with students opportunities to attend symposiums, webinars, and podcasts in key study fields, such as Health / STEM / Business and Legal with our leading alumni, the Palladian's Association. It is hoped in 2021 MacRob will host a Tertiary Expo in Term 3, encompassing Victorian and interstate lead universities. In addition, visits on program offerings from Ed USA, ADFA and tertiary institutions will be held across the year.

We welcome graduates and parents who can assist current students with career-related activities or who can provide mentorship in their field of expertise.
