Career Clusters in focus (Years 10-12)
This is the second part in a 6-week series of articles, where I will be overviewing one of the 6 Career Clusters each week. Senior College students have access to information about the Career Clusters on the PLC Careers Hub and will have an opportunity to learn about the Clusters in their PD lessons.
Last week we looked at Makers.
This week’s focus cluster is Guardians.
Guardians use their skills to support other people to maintain and care for their health and wellbeing. Guardians are skilled at supporting people and they have a deep understanding of physical and mental health.
Many Guardians work in healthcare, the fitness and beauty industries; and others help keep our workplaces and public spaces safe.
In addition to their technical skills, important transferable skills for Guardians include People Skills, Problem Solving, and Teamwork. Does this sound like you? What jobs do you know that fit within this cluster?
