Careers News Week 3 Term 1, 2021 from Mr David Russell, Curriculum Co-ordinator (7-12) | Student Advisor (7-12) Early Entry Programs Various tertiary institutions have Early Offer Entry programs. These programs provide students with an opportunity to apply for university courses and gain a place before the main round offers which occur after ATAR’s are released. While the UAC information sheet for 2021 is yet to be updated, the edition provided by UAC for 2020 may provide some reference material for interested students at the moment… Undergraduate Fact Sheet: Early Offer Schemes for Year 12 Students (uac.edu.au) Each university that offers such a program has their particular requirements. It is useful to check on each institution’s website to see what they might offer. Macquarie University runs an early offer program called the Macquarie University Leaders and Achievers Program. More information will be available about the Macquarie University L&A program from representatives of the University when they visit to speak to Year 12. They are scheduled to visit during period 3a on 24th March. General information is available via the University’s website Macquarie leaders and achievers - Macquarie University (mq.edu.au) although it is not yet updated for 2021 There is a general early offer program that a number of Universities use called the Schools Recommendation Scheme (SRS). After having applied through UAC for a tertiary course at University, a student can then apply online at the UAC website for a recommendation from his/her school. The school’s recommendation is provided to UAC who then circulate it to the Universities the student has applied for. The Universities then use the information according to their own criteria in terms of making any early offers to students. More information can be obtained about the SRS program from the UAC website Early offer schemes for Year 12 students - UAC. This site also shows information about various other early offer programs run by various Universities, although information may not yet be updated for 2021.
UAC Information UAC’s Community Engagement team are looking forward to delivering information on university entry to provide for an easy transition into higher education. UAC Digital For this reason, UAC has developed UAC Digital, a new online resource, which can be accessed by all. UAC has designed a calendar of webinars and meetings that students can participate in. Students and parents will be able to listen to UAC, and our universities discuss different study areas such as medicine, engineering, health science and much more. They will also have guest speakers from NESA to discuss the difference between moderating and scaling and how both NESA and UAC use HSC marks. Information is provided below about scheduled webinars. More details to follow regarding accessing the webinars.

Are you Interested in Ship Building…?
A career in naval shipbuilding
When you think of shipbuilding you might be thinking it’s working with sheets of metal in
shipyards. But the reality is modern shipbuilding is much more than that – it’s highly complex
and involves world class technology, with roles from project management, though to
engineering and trades.
Australia’s shipbuilding industry is growing fast, with seventy vessels to be built for the Royal
Australian Navy by the 2050’s. These vessels require some of the most advanced technology
in the world to ensure they’re invisible to attack, able to detect threats and ensure the safety
of the crew on board.
An introduction to the Shipbuilding Industry
What jobs could I work in?
There will be demand for thousands of people, right across Australia, to work in areas roles as:
Engineering
Engineers design the vessels and create the technology inside the ship or submarine
• Designers
• Software Engineers
• Electrical Engineers
• Mechanical Engineers
Project Management
Project Managers oversee projects to ensure they run smoothly and delivered on time
• Project Managers
• Planners
• Schedulers
Operations / Trades
Trades are at the heart of physically building the vessels. They ensure that the hull, and everything
inside, is properly and safely manufactured and installed
• Welders
• Boilermakers
• Electricians
• Fabricators
Supply Chain
This area is all about sourcing and storing the materials needed to build the vessels
• Purchasing Officers
• Warehouse Managers
• Logistics Officers
Support roles
These are the other functions required in any business to ensure smooth operations
• Human Resources
• Finance
• Legal
It’s important to note that in these roles, you don’t need to join the Navy. You’ll be working for
the large, often international, companies who are building the vessels, or the Australian owned
businesses who are supplying and manufacturing various components.
There are many pathway opportunities into these roles via university, vocational and trade
pathways, and the Naval Shipbuilding College works with over 20 universities and TAFEs across
Australia to ensure you’re ready for a career in the naval shipbuilding industry.
How can I set myself up to get a job when I finish school?
The Naval Shipbuilding College is here to help you turn your interests and skills into a long,
successful career. You might not quite know what you want to do yet, and that’s ok!
Jump on our website to set up a FREE chat with one of our career consultants who will provide

A job in the space sector may seem out of reach, or only available to a select few who want to be an astronaut. But the good news is, there are many space jobs that draw on STEM skills and areas like software development, industrial design, and metal fabricating. The Australian Space Agency aims to triple the size of the Australian space sector and create 20,000 more space jobs in Australia in the next 10 years. https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/careers-with-stem-space-webinar-tickets- 133633380037?utm_source=Refraction+Media&utm_campaign=616c9025c7- EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2018_04_04_COPY_01&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_20dc88b9ea-616c9025c7- 148898187&mc_cid=616c9025c7&mc_eid=5a58dfdde9 Defence Work Experience at HMAS Albatross The Defence Work Experience Program is pleased to advise that they have placed advertisements for the Navy Aviation Overview at HMAS Albatross.
