Richmond Institute – Careers in the Sports Industry

On Wednesday, 23 August, our VCE students had the opportunity to hear from Jamie Wills (Richmond Institute) regarding the many career options that exist within the sports industry. Jamie reinforced the fact that you don’t need to be an athlete to work in this growing industry!

Richmond Institute is the education arm of the Richmond Football Club, and a leader in sports industry education. Through Richmond Football Club’s partnership with Swinburne University of Technology and their connections with industry organisations, they provide outstanding experiences, outcomes and pathways for students.

Jamie also provided our students an overview of the dual diploma qualification for which current Year 12 students can apply (for 2024). This qualification supports students to secure employment across a range of employers, to complement their studies (i.e. AFL clubs, Basketball Victoria, Tennis Victoria). For more information, please visit this link.

Over the next few weeks, our students will have the opportunity to hear from experts across a range of industries, including the racing and civil construction industries.

Career Bullseyes

I have previously shared information regarding the amazing myfuture resource that is available to students and their parents/guardians to support informed career decisions. It is a wonderful website with great tools to help students better understand the job opportunities available to them.

One tool has stood ‘the test of time’ and continues to be a very valuable resource for our students. Many of our school’s parents/guardians may recognise them from their own school career experiences. I am referring to the career bullseyes.

The career bullseyes allow students to explore career pathways by selecting a learning area they enjoy. The bullseyes also identify the level of qualification required for particular jobs.

I would encourage all students (and their parents/guardians alike) to take advantage of this great tool. To access the bullseyes, click this link.

VTAC receives, processes and forwards course applications to universities, TAFEs, and independent tertiary colleges in Victoria (and a few outside Victoria). VTAC also processes special consideration claims through the SEAS application and some scholarship applications. VTAC’s other role is calculating the ATAR for Year 12 students.
