Learning about healthcare careers is very different from experiencing a hospital environment firsthand.

As part of Module 3 of GRLLEN’s World of Work: Health and Community Services program, students visited Barwon Health, St John of God Geelong and Epworth Geelong to explore the breadth of opportunities available across the health sector. The visits helped students understand the distinction between clinical and non-clinical roles, how different hospital departments work together, and the range of skills required to support patient care and hospital operations.

Students participated in practical activities, toured hospital facilities and spoke directly with staff about their roles, career pathways and experiences working in healthcare. These industry immersion experiences help young people connect their interests with real workplaces, ask informed questions and develop a clearer understanding of where a career in health could take them.

GRLLEN acknowledges , and for supporting this valuable student learning experience.
