Year 9 Students Take Part in the Real Industry Job Interview (RIJI) Program

Our Year 9 students recently participated in the Real Industry Job Interview (RIJI) program, an engaging and practical experience designed to prepare them for the world of work.

As part of the program, students applied for an age-appropriate job and attended a mock job interview, giving them the opportunity to experience the recruitment process in a real-world setting. The experience encouraged students to develop their communication skills, practise presenting themselves professionally and build confidence in responding to interview questions.

The program provided a valuable opportunity for students to reflect on their strengths, consider the expectations of employers and develop important employability skills that will support them in their future pathways.

We were particularly proud of the way our students approached the experience. Their enthusiasm, positivity and cooperation were noted by the staff involved in the program, reflecting positively on both the students and Loyola College.

We thank the Banyule and Nillumbik Local Learning and Employment Network (LLEN) and the team involved in delivering this valuable initiative for providing our students with an authentic insight into the world of work.

Well done to our Year 9 students for embracing this opportunity and taking another important step towards their future careers!
