Careers Day: Now completely online - please register on Eventbrite to receive Zoom link

  • Friday, December 9, 2022
  • 10:00 AM 2:30 PM
  • Google Calendar ICS

IMPORTANT NOTICE – due to rising Covid numbers, the SVRC Careers Day will now be completely online. Please register through Eventbrite to receive the Zoom link before December 9, 2022.

Who can participate in the SVRC Careers Day?

Any Victorian school student who meets the eligibility criteria as partially sighted, legally blind or totally blind as determined by the Education Vision Assessment Clinic (EVAC)

Students from any year level (preference might be given to older students, depending on numbers)

Students from Government, Catholic or Independent Schools

This Careers Day aims to start students thinking about the skills and knowledge that will help them find a career. We will hear from panels of people with vision impairments in work, in part-time work while at school, in tertiary courses. We will also hear from agencies providing support to people with disabilities seeking work.

We hope to record all sessions, so that students who cannot participate on December 9 can benefit from the program later.

Please register on Eventbrite by Wednesday November 30th. Parents/carers can participate with their child.

If families, Visiting Teachers or school staff have any questions prior to the day or need further clarification about the program, please call and speak to either Di Bennett, Marion -Blaze, or Kim Foley SVRC Manager on (03) 9841 0242.
