Teacher Reference Guide

• Support students to see through lines to all aspects of the program (tours, projects, OH&S presentations and Young Industry Ambassador Presentations). How do each of these aspects of the program connect and provide an understanding of job, careers and pathways?
• Support students to articulate what they now know about jobs, careers and pathways and how this has grown over the 16 weeks of the program.

• Organise an opportunity for students to present their work orally to an audience. This could be an expo involving all participating schools, workplace hosts and other stakeholders or it could be sharing with the local school community or several classes at school. An expo can provide an excellent way to showcase the work of the students and to showcase the considerable support provided by all of the stakeholders involved.
• The basis of the work presented by the students can be the digital or paper portfolios developed by students during each stage of the program.

• Support students to prepare their oral presentations ensuring all visual material is accurate and ready for publication.
• With student support organise the oral presentation (format, guest invites, venue).
• Support students to thank all workplace and project hosts.
