Career expo helps VCE students pathways

STUDENTS from Boort, Wedderburn and East Loddon attended last week’s VCE careers expo in Charlton.

Tertiary Information Service and supported by the North Central LLEN presented the event that featured presentations about all facets of applying for a tertiary placement, followed by a chance to meet with representatives from universities and key industries including agriculture, local government and mining.

North Central LLEN careers and pathways team leader Jacinta Sutton said the day was a great opportunity for young people to explore potential careers and pathways.

“With more than a dozen universities in attendance, young people were able to have one-on-one conversations about potential university courses or career pathways,” she said.

The expo was part of North Central LLEN’s school-to-work program supporting access to work-based learning opportunities, so students can develop employability skills and make informed career choices.

A barbecue lunch was prepared by the Charlton Lions Club.

Recovery tips on community dinner menu

CLINICAL psychologist and natural disaster recovery and preparedness consultant David Younger will discuss common recovery challenges at a free community dinner in Bridgewater next week.

“The 2022 October storm and flood event saw people across our shire affected by this widespread flooding,” said Loddon Shire’s wellbeing director Wendy Gladman.

“As we continue to see recovery efforts take place, the impacts of the flood event on our communities are still being felt across the region – including fatigue and mental health impacts.

“Through blending storytelling, scientific findings and real life experiences, David will talk about common recovery challenges, along with providing tips and pointers that can help people and their community recover better.”

Mrs Gladman said David had an unwavering commitment to “serving communities and making a difference in the lives of those affected by natural disasters”.

“We encourage our community to come along to this event, as our shire continues its flood recovery journey,” she said.
