Work Experience
Year 10 work experience at RSC opens a gateway to the world of work for students. It offers invaluable insights into various industries, providing hands-on exposure and a taste of real-world responsibilities.
By immersing themselves in workplaces, students gain practical skills, understand workplace dynamics, and explore career paths. This experience helps them make informed decisions about their future, equipping them with a clearer vision of their aspirations and enhancing their decision making around subjects and pathway options.
