• Does it seem like everyone is always looking
  for outcomes? Students want outcomes from tests,
  Parents want outcomes from their children, the
  school wants outcomes from you and DET wants
  outcomes from the school. It's a never ending
  cycle and it must seem like it all comes back to
  you!

3

• Did you know that in some cases we can assist
  with your outcomes? Some students we just know
  are headed for further study, some are headed
  into the family business but what about those
  that don't quite know or need a helping hand to
  decide?

• NECA Education and Careers has been assisting
  careers teachers to get positive outcomes for
  their students for years. We are specialised in
  working with the students that are looking for 12
  months just to get their heads around the fact
  that they have finished school or those who are
  set on an electrical career in their futures.

5

• With your students we can do resume writing,
  interviewing tips, identifying body language and
  mock interviews to help us, and you, to help your
  students into successful outcomes from VCE, VCAL
  and VET.

6

• Some we may not be able to help directly with
  employment or further study but be assured that
  we will know someone or somewhere in the industry
  that can help your student along their
  path.Some successful outcomes we have managed
  have been

Case scenario 1

• Suzie was studying year 11 at a secondary
  college in Ringwood.  Her careers teacher called
  and asked for a consultant to attend the school
  to see if we had any opportunities for her
  student to carry on with immediately as the
  student was disengaged.

8

• Our consultant attended the school and
  identified that the student was bored as she had
  decided to change from a VCE stream to a VCAL
  stream and was finding it way too easy. She was a
  bright young lady and just wanted to get into the
  work force and start earning money.

9

• Suzie was given the opportunity of a full
  interview on the spot and the details of her
  interview were taken back to the team at NECA
  Education and Careers. Through industry contacts
  in the Ringwood area we were able to identify a
  business that could use some extra help and were
  willing to see Suzie for interview.

10

• 2 years later and Suzie is still going
  strong. She has completed her Certificate III and
  IV in Business Administration and has just been
  taken on full time by the company she did her
  traineeship through.

11

• Her Careers Teacher needs to take a lot of
  the credit as she identified that she didn't have
  the industry contacts to get Suzie the exposure
  she needed. NECA Education and Careers and Suzie
  thank her for her savvy decision in a time of
  potential upset for young Suzie.

Case scenario 2

• A Secondary college in the South Eastern
  suburbs invited NECA Education and Careers to
  their school to participate in some interviews
  for their students. Some of the interviews were
  purely an exercise in practice makes perfect, but
  some were legitimate job interviews.

13

• Tony was extremely keen to start an electrical
  apprenticeship but didn't know how to go about
  getting one.  He had a couple of obstacles in his
  way. After chatting with one of our Consultants
  Tony decided to sit the NECA industry aptitude
  test in October and complete a Certificate II in
  Electrotechnology (pre- vocational) before the
  beginning of the year to up his chances of a
  placement.

14

• This would also take him closer to his 18th
  birthday when he would be able to get his licence
  and be completely job ready.

15

• NECA Education and Careers can't wait to see
  Tony for a second interview in January/ February
  2016 when we are looking at taking on our new
  cohort of 1st year electrical apprentices.
