1. NECA Education & Careers -
Career Advisors

2. 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?

4. 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:

7. 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.

12. 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.

16. Give NECA Education and Careers a call to
day and see how we can help your students.
