    CAREER PATHWAYS: TWO YEARS ON

    Two years prior to the making of this program, VEA's program (Name: Age: Occupation:) looked candidly at the lives of six students in their final year of school.

It provides a fascinating insight into the realities of career development. The program is divided logically into five chapters; education and training, work, family, personal development and advice.

    YOU'VE GOT THE JOB: LEGAL RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF EMPLOYEES AND EMPLOYERS

    The program provides an overview of the principle rights and responsibilities of employees and employers. It also covers organisations young people can turn to if they are concerned about their rights.

    We examine an employer's duties and responsibilities, then consider the rights and responsibilities of the employee. Many young people encounter problems early in their working lives due to lack of experience. They may be so grateful for simply having a job that they overlook the fact that their rights are not being upheld. Conversely, a new employee may neglect certain responsibilities due to work inexperience. This is essential viewing for senior students and other young people at an important stage in their lives

    SUCCEEDING AT THE INTERVIEW: HINTS FROM THE REAL WORLD

    The interview is a critical stage in the job seeking process. Despite the efforts of careers advisers, many young people prepare themselves badly and fail to `put their best foot forward'. In the worst case, an interview can be a demoralising experience which sets a person up for repeated failure. We decided that what's needed is a program based on what good employers have learned from years of experience.

    The program in particular focuses on two positions; an office trainee-ship position and apprentice furniture maker including:
  • what interviewees should do to prepare themselves well in the first place
  • how they can equip themselves well during the actual interview,
  • what the employer wants to find out, and * how to follow-up and learn from their mistakes after the event

    We look at sections of interviews conducted and extract the interesting, revealing bits, all in a way which holds students riveted to the screen!

    TERTIARY REALITY: WHAT TO EXPECT AFTER YEAR 12

    WOMEN CAN DO ANYTHING: WOMEN IN NON-TRADITIONAL JOBS

    Increasingly, over the past 10-20 years, women have entered areas of the workforce long regarded as exclusive male preserves. Unfortunately (and perhaps not surprisingly), it hasn't always been a bed of roses.

    Whilst women have shown they can do almost any job traditionally done by men, too many women have encountered prejudice on the job, despite anti-discrimination legislation. Sometimes this is reflected in put-downs and guerrilla warfare by threatened males; at other times, it is reflected in lower wages paid for the same work.

    In this program, we use TV archives to look at women's experience in a range of occupations, from a jockey to an engineer, from a carpenter to the first woman pilot in the defence forces. This program is informative, provocative and ¡K inspiring!
