The college is inviting Fleurieu-based businesses to join our contact list of local employers and connect with students through a variety of career-focused events.

Opportunities include:

• Mock interviews – Year 10 students prepare and participate in face-to-face interviews with employers based on real job descriptions.
• Careers expo – Employers and companies host exhibits and answer career-based questions from students in Years 9–12.
• Spotlight sessions – lunchtime activity where employers share insights into their chosen profession.
• Work experience – Employers provide students with practical, hands-on exposure to a workplace environment.

These events are designed to give students valuable insights into the workforce, helping them explore career options and develop the skills and confidence needed for life after school.

Leading this work is Tatachilla’s new Pathways Coordinator, Kelly Baldock, who works one-on-one with senior students to guide them through post-school options and the requirements for gaining qualifications for their chosen paths. The Pathways team coordinates all of the activities described above, in addition to university information sessions and White Card training.

“At Tatachilla, every student’s journey is different,” Kelly says. “Our role is not to direct the path, but to help them walk it with confidence.”

Businesses and organisations interested in supporting Tatachilla students are encouraged to join our contact list and become part of our career education program. To express interest, please contact Kelly Baldock: kelly.baldock@tatachilla.sa.edu.au.
