One of the many workplace learning opportunities at Kiara College is The Career Taster Program. This program provides Year 9 students with a ‘taste’ of different industries and careers. Students have the opportunity to sign up for career tasters and go out into various industries for a day to gain practical, hands-on experience in their chosen occupation. This helps them make more informed decisions about their subject selections in Years 10, 11 and 12 and helps them to narrow down a clear pathway. This year our students have participated in career tasters across; beauty therapy, hospitality, and university pathways, with upcoming career tasters and Try a Trades scheduled in animation, civil construction and concreting, cybersecurity, hairdressing & barbering, and plumbing & painting.
