Fashion Forward at JPSS

An employer will form an opinion of you in the first minute of your job interview – this will be largely influenced by the way you are dressed! As a part of an employability forum run by Gateways for Youth , in conjunction with John Pirie Secondary School, we showed young people the appropriate way to dress for different industries…and had a lot of fun in the process!

The Employability Fashion Parade was a great success and all the students gained a great deal of information on the importance of dressing properly for your chosen industry. Our 7 brave and charismatic models strutted their stuff down the ‘runway’, showcasing attire from a Mechanic’s overalls and Nurse’s scrubs to Baker’s whites and the corporate attire required when working in Office & Administration.

Are You Mocking Me?

They say that laughter is the best medicine! These boys from Leigh Creek Area School took that advice literally, hamming it up in front of the camera after finishing their mock interviews in order to be rid of some of their nervous energy!
