Work Experience Persuasive Speech
Intro:
How many of you are currently unemployed, but would like to have some sort of casual employment? Who isn’t set on their future career, but would like to have a better idea? Who likes making money?
So what if I told you, I know a way to fulfill all of these desires. The answer is work experience. I believe work experience should be integrated into Australia's curriculum and be a compulsory part of high school. Currently some public schools have a work experience opportunity for students at the end of year 9 or 10, but not all schools enforce this. I believe every school in Australia should implement an element of work experience. By making it a part of the high school curriculum it will teach students new skills not learned in the classroom. It will make the difficult task of gaining employment much easier. It can give students the opportunity to see what is really involved in their dream job and it’s a good way to earn some extra cash.
Paragraph 1:
By integrating work experience into Australia’s high school curriculum it will expose students to an opportunity to gain a whole new range of necessary life skills, develop their personal attributes and exercise learned practices. Textbooks and schools teach you essential information you will use in life and in the workforce and while this information if obviously necessary and important, they do not teach you the next vital step which is knowing how to actually execute and apply this learned knowledge in a real life situation or workplace. This can only be taught properly, through practical experience.
From personal experience I know that the workforce teaches you many valuable skills and lessons that school will not and physically cannot. From working at Fernwood gym I have acquired many skills and learnt things I otherwise wouldn’t have. Some of these include professionalism, sacrifice, independence, responsibility and organisation. Before I gained employment I was very shy with strangers and didn’t like to
