Tips on career fairs and work experience
by Captain Ayesha

Try hosting a career fair with guest speakers and community

members. Prompt speakers and universities to share desired
messages with students during presentations.

Start work experience programmes early with Go to Work with

a Parent Day in Year 8 and full week experiences in Year 10 and
12. Encourage students to find their own work experience place-

Teach students how to write CVs and

cover letters and how to research com-
panies before work experience.

Encourage students to write daily diaries dur-

ing work experience reflecting on challenges,
achievements, and people met.

Offer in-house internships for students. Divide

students into interest groups and have them write
and present on their choices.

Provide opportunities for students

to present their ideas and designs in
the workplace.

Encourage successful former students

to come back and inspire the new class
of students.
Tips for organizing trips abroad
by Captain Ayesha

1. PRICING
Coordinate pricing and
itinerary with a local tour
company. Run a survey on
affordability with parents
and families.
2. INTEGRATE
Look for established pro-
grammes to add university
tours. Combine academ-
ic tours with pre-existing
school programmes.

3. NETWORK
Network to find new univer-
sities for the tour. Discuss
the value of university tours
with parents and students.
4. EVALUATE
Analyze completed tours
for future improvements.
Collect data to influence
decisions on future trips.

5. OTHER OPTIONS
If international travel is not possible, help
students identify universities they can visit
during school breaks or explore virtually. Use
university representatives to plan future vis-
its, collect their business cards, and create a
bulletin board by region for easy access.
