IT was like speed dating, but instead Dandenong High School students recently got to know the details of different professions.
The students took part in ‘Speed Careering’, where representatives from different professions spoke about their jobs.
Speed Careering is a hands-on and innovative way to introduce a range of different careers to young people in high school.
Small groups moved around to different presenters when the bell rang every seven to eight minutes.
The aim of the short sessions was to keep them dynamic and fast-paced … which helps to keep young people engaged.
Presenters included a pet educator, a police detective, a photographer and an indoor cricket development officer.
