CAREERS CORNER - ISSUE 4 DATE: 5/6/20

CAREER ADVISERS MESSAGE Educational Access Schemes (EAS) aim to help students who have been negatively impacted during their senior years receive an offer of entry to university. There have been changes to EAS this year as a result of both Bushfire and COVID-19. Added are two new disadvantages in response to COVID-19, which have a reduced minimum period of 3 months. They are if your parent or guardian is in receipt of JobKeeper or JobSeeker: https://www.uac.edu.au/future-applicants/scholarships-and-schemes/educational-access-schemes/disadvantages-and-documents The new disadvantage for natural disasters has already been announced, which has the standard 6-month minimum period. This is found under N01D in the category of Severe family disruption.

Last week, NESA launched the #StayHealthyHSC campaign, in partnership with ReachOut Australia.

The partnership aims to build an even greater support network around HSC students this year, as they work towards their HSC during COVID-19.

The campaign will provide further advice about the changes that have been made to this year’s exams to keep everyone safe, as well as resources for managing stress and tips for keeping active while preparing for exams.

Download and share the Stay Healthy HSC message with your community:

• Changes to the HSC flyer • Stay Healthy HSC posters • Stay Healthy HSC social media tiles

ReachOut’s Study Hub has a range of information about taking a proactive approach to mental health as well as where to go for more support.

Follow the campaign on Twitter @NewsAtNESA and head to the NESA website for more tips and resources.

No, not with Macquarie Entry. ATAR is just one of the factors we use to determine your suitability for study. It’s true that your ATAR rank can be a useful factor of your chances for success in a specific course. But it’s equally true that there are other factors we can use to assess your suitability. That’s why we have 11 different admission pathways to Macquarie; ten of these assess your suitability on more than a selection ranking based on your raw ATAR or on your ATAR plus adjustment factors providing additional points. https://www.mq.edu.au/study/macquarie-entry-navigator

The 2021 Early Offer program opens on Friday 3 April. We encourage you to submit your application as soon as possible after that. Our Admissions team will notify you that we have received your application and begin their assessment.

If you arrive more than 15 minutes after your appointment time you will not be allowed to take the test and will have to book and pay for a new test appointment on another day, (subject to availability of test appointments). This applies in cases of family emergency, accident, transport problems and security alert as well as forgetfulness and lateness. https://www.ucat.edu.au/ucat-anz/test-day/ UCAT Test Format The UCAT is a two-hour computer-based test which assesses a range of abilities identified by universities as important to practicing in the fields of medicine / dentistry / clinical sciences. The test consists of five separately timed subtests which each contain a number of questions in a multiple-choice format. Once started the test cannot be paused for a break but before each subtest there is a timed instruction section. Candidates either sit the standard test or apply for an extended version of the test if they are entitled to extra time due to a documented medical condition or disability. https://www.ucat.edu.au/ucat-anz/test-format/

They’re serious game-changers at IKEA, where customers can place products true-to-size in a space by downloading their app. In construction jobs, the same tech is creeping in to test structural changes onsite before they’re implemented. https://careerswithstem.com.au/the-new-tech-taking-over-the-modern-tradies-toolbox/?utm_source=Refraction+Media&utm_campaign=0f12a21110-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2018_04_04_COPY_01&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_20dc88b9ea-0f12a21110-148898187&mc_cid=0f12a21110&mc_eid=5a58dfdde9 Careers with Maths and Data STEM The latest edition of Careers with STEM is all about careers that count.
