Do you have a son or daughter or extended family member that has recently graduated from Year12? Leaving school after so many years can be both exciting and a little scary. Sometimes it takes a past student a few months to figure out what they want to do, this ‘down time’ can often impact on their motivation levels and attitude.

There are currently lots of opportunities available for study, work and training – it’s just knowing how to access all of this information.

At PBC we have a designated Link and Launch Manager Elaine Braniff, who can assist in navigating a wide range of options in consultation with the past student. She will organise a one on one catch up, ascertain their goals, their strengths, their skills and help them to create a future pathway. In addition, she can offer specific advice on resumes, cover letters, job searching, interview preparation & presentation and current labour market and educational destinations.

Pathways can include (but are not limited to) part time work (if the past student is currently studying), full time employment, Apprenticeship and Traineeship opportunities, linkages in to government and federal workforce participation programs, free TAFE for Year 12 leavers and community and health referrals all based on the needs of the individual.

Elaine Braniff, Link and Launch Manager can be contacted on 0467 951 239 or via email -  ebran61@eq.edu.au
