Cadetships

Some students have asked me to clarify Cadetships.  This is when an Accounting business recruits a year 12 (not 11) student and agrees to support them through their university degree. Some specify that the degree be at Melbourne or RMIT so the student is close to the city for work as well as study. The student works part time at that business along the way and is, of course, paid for that work. When the student graduates they also have lots of valuable work experience and, as such, command more money as an employee.  There are lots of variations with Cadetships so if you are interested, you ask each organisation for details at, for example, "Meet the Business Leaders" meetings etc.  Also, most years, some of these organisation come to MacRob and give lunchtime info sessions.  Ms Serpless will advertise these. If you are really keen, I would certainly contact Ms Serpless to ensure you get any info.  The cadetship process is, of course, highly competitive for good reason but MacRobians have had lots of success over the years ... it could include you.  Check out this link ...

This is Kim Fung from the Class of 2014.  Why is she smiling?  She had just been told she was successful in her Cadetship application.

Why is Ravali smiling? (she is on the left)

She had just received news that two separate Accounting businesses wanted her as an Accounting Cadet in 2014.  Yes two!  She ended up getting a 50 for Accounting and ... she is now doing Medicine at Monash.   True story.
