Employer and Post-16 Encounters
The updated provider access legislation mandates that schools facilitate at least six encounters with approved apprenticeship and technical education providers for all students. Two of these encounters must occur during the ‘first key phase’ (Year 8 or 9), and an additional two during the ‘second key phase’ (Year 10 or 11).
The encounters outlined in the document below are designed to help Belvidere students make well-informed decisions at critical transition points, while also exploring a wide range of career and Post-16/18 opportunities. PAL encounters are highlighted for easy reference.
This area will show all documents uploaded to the /docs/Careers/PAL folder.
