In this issue

This year our annual Year 10 Careers Conference Camp, held at Phillip Island over three days, was moved online for the very first time (due to COVID-19 restrictions).

A totally interactive, full three days, exploring subjects for VCE, careers and pathways, identifying and exploring personal skills and attributes, unfolded for 130 students across both campuses. The students worked extremely hard over the three days, engaging with the presenters and their teachers, gaining key information for their upcoming subject selections and pathway planning, learning some new tech skills and producing an amazing product – their own podcast based on a Careers-related focus of their choice. These podcasts will be shared with the broader community over the coming weeks.

This was a fantastic Careers Conference Camp, enjoyed by both staff and students, allowing our students to shine and astound us in their creativity, tenacity, adaptability and growth as young people.

Subject selection and course selection season has started! Students are encouraged to research their choices and gather as much information as they can to assist in making their choices. And remember to keep asking questions to assist in research!

Open Days and Information Sessions have been scheduled by all institutions over the coming weeks. Although many are still hoping to have on campus events later in August, many have been moved to virtual events, some postponed or cancelled. Students and parents are encouraged to carefully check dates and venues on each institutional website for the most up-to-date information.

What is upskilling?

Information has been taken from ‘Explore Careers’.

What Do We Mean By Career Upskilling and Why Does it Matter?
‘Upskilling’ probably sounds like careers and recruiter jargon, or something future you will need to worry about it – and it kind of is! But it is also something worth thinking about as you begin to take your first steps into the world of work.

We are not saying you have to have it all figured out but having some expectations and ownership over your career journey will set you up for long-term success.

With the Foundation for Young Australians reporting that young people will have on average seventeen different jobs across five different careers in their working lifetime, upskilling is something that will become increasingly crucial! https://bit.ly/3xRtiFI

Entries close Friday 29 October, https://bit.ly/2TlpVbh

Social Media and Your Job – Does it Matter?

Social media and your job
Let’s face it, pretty much all of us use some form of social media these days. It can be a great way of keeping in touch with friends and family, finding news and events or even just entertaining ourselves.

But as social media becomes even more a part of our lives and identity, there is something else we need to consider – does it affect our jobs?

Whatever you post on the internet could potentially be seen by anyone, including employers, fellow workers and customers. And more and more professions are introducing social media policies that staff need to follow or there could be some serious consequences.

We are here to explain the dos and do nots of social media as a student and professional, so you can maintain a good reputation online.

What counts as “social media”?
What can be defined as “social media” is actually quite broad, and includes more sites than you would think than just Facebook and Instagram. In fact, almost any online platform where content can be shared could potentially be considered social media. Just some common examples include:
•  Social networking platforms (Facebook, Twitter, WEChat, WhatsApp)
•  Professional networking platforms (LinkedIn)
•  Discussion forums (Reddit, Whirlpool)
•  Media sharing platforms (YouTube, TikTok, Flickr, Instagram)
•  Content production and blogs (Tumblr, WordPress)
•  Wikis (Wikipedia)
•  Gaming platforms and environments (Online games, Discord, Steam).
While many of these sites and platforms allow you to post under a username or anonymously, it is likely that it can still be traced back to you in some way.

Take this as a general rule of thumb: if you are putting something on the internet where other people can potentially see it, think twice before you hit post.

Your conduct on social media
While rules and policies can vary between job areas and individual organisations, there are some basic rules that are fairly common between them all. Even if the place you work or study has no specific social media policy, these are some good guidelines to follow to make sure your online presence does not cause any conflict with your job or studies.

Appropriate behaviour
This one’s fairly obvious: make sure you behave appropriately online. There are real people behind the screens, so treat people online like you would treat them in person. And maybe think twice before letting your mate post those embarrassing photos! Other things that could get you in hot water include:
•  Cyberbullying and harassing others online
•  Posting obscene or offensive things
•  Spreading information that is false, misleading or deceptive.

Posting about your job
Be extremely careful if you make any sort of post or reference about your job (even if it is to say something nice). If you are posting a photo or video wearing a company uniform or on work premises, make sure this is okay according to your workplace’s policy. And if you are unhappy with something that has happened with work, do not vent about it online; we know it can be tempting to badmouth your annoying colleague or a frustrating customer experience but this can get you in a lot of trouble. Your workplace should have an appropriate channel you can take these concerns, like talking to your manager.

There are even some cases where posting about your job on personal social media sites is not allowed at all – you will see more about this below.

It applies to students too
Remember, these rules are not just for workers to follow. Universities and other education providers usually also have social media policies that are strict about what you post that might be associated with them as well. Your behaviour online could potentially lead to some serious consequences, like having your enrolment cancelled.

If you would like to take a look at an example, here is Bond University’s Social Media Policy – it applies to both staff and students at Bond.

Profession-specific rules
As well as the general rules above, different career areas and employers can also have specific rules that their employees need to follow in regards to social media. Here are some common ones, so if your dream job appears below, you might want to take a look.

Healthcare professionals
This includes almost everyone working in health, including doctors, nurses, midwives, aged carers, disability support workers, surgeons and more.

One of the big things to consider as a healthcare professional is privacy and patient confidentiality. You need to be really careful not to post any identifying details about one of your patients. An example includes uploading pictures that might have things in the background, like scans and reports, that could potentially contain confidential information.

As a healthcare worker, your views and opinions on some matters can also be influential. Be careful when expressing opinions about social issues online. Maintaining appropriate boundaries and relationships with patients online is also very important.

You can see the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency’s (Aphra) guide to social media for healthcare professionals here.

Police Officers
As a Police Officer, your reputation as well as the reputation of the force as a whole is taken extremely seriously. So it is not surprising that they have some pretty strict rules when it comes to social media.

Common things include not sharing confidential information (such as information about ongoing investigations), making comments about the police force or government and even posting pictures of yourself in uniform on private social media.

If you want to dive a bit deeper, take a look at NSW Police’s social media policy here.

Defence Force
Similar to the Police Force, the Defence Force also has clear and enforceable guidelines when it comes to personnel posting information on social media. Again, it is mostly concerned with protecting confidential information, and upholding the reputation of the Defence Force.

An interesting thing to keep in mind is that these rules apply to young people as well, whether you are participating in a Cadet program or Defence Work Experience.

Read the ADF’s policy on social media use here.

Teachers
Teachers need to be careful when posting on social media, particularly around matters relating to students. Teachers are advised to not post anything work-related to personal social media accounts, particularly if it contains any identifying information about students or other staff.

It is also very important that teachers should under no circumstances interact with students on social media, other than through official school accounts.

See more about how teachers at public schools in NSW can use social media in the Department of Education’s guide here.

Lawyers
Once you finish your studies and want to become a practising lawyer, there are certain things other than your education that can affect your hopes of being admitted. One consideration is that you are a “fit and proper person” to practice. In the days of social media, what you post can be one of the things used to determine your fitness to practice.

As with many of the other professions above, client confidentiality is also incredibly important. Lawyers must make sure not to reveal any information about a client or case.

It is not all bad
On the flip side, social media can be used as an incredibly powerful tool to put yourself out there to potential employers. These days it is becoming more and more common for people to find work through social media channels, so making a good impression is always important. Studies show that three out of four managers will take a peek at a potential candidate’s social media profile before making a decision.

So if you are going to use social media, make sure you use it the right way.

What is VET in the VCE?

VET stands for Vocational Education and Training, and vocation refers to work or employment. VET in the VCE programs are designed to give students exposure to practical skills and an understanding of what it is like to ‘learn through doing’. So, students can opt to do a VET subject while completing their VCE and, in most cases, the VET qualification contributes towards the VCE and the ATAR.
Visit Get VET in the VCE.

CASPer Entry Requirements for Teacher Qualifications
