GV HEALTH, in partnership with Greater Shepparton Lighthouse Project, has showcased local employment opportunities to year 10 students participating in ‘Career an Job Investigation’ classes from Wanganui Park Secondary School.
Coordinators of the event, Lighthouse Project coordinator industry links and transitions, Amy Robinson and GV Health Nursing & Midwifery Education director, Cathy Scott said the day was an opportunity to showcase an array of local jobs for students especially as GV Health undergoes expansion of its health care services to the community of Greater Shepparton and surrounding districts.
“When speaking with students in High Schools and the needs of the business community it was evident there was a disconnect between young people’s understanding of and exposure to real employment pathways and employment growth sectors within our region,” Ms Robinson said.
“GV Health will require up to 400 new roles when the redevelopment is complete, and it really makes sense to embed some local training and employment transitional pathways for our local young people who are not looking to go directly into university or study in the city,” Ms Scott said.
