Clarence-Coffs Independent Schools Career Hub

What is the Career Hub?

The Clarence-Coffs Independent Schools Career Hub program partners with employers in the Clarence and Coffs regions to ensure young people experience the world beyond school and are supported in transitions to further education and employment.

The Career Hub includes Bishop Druitt College, Clarence Valley Anglican School and St Andrew’s Christian School, and is supported by the Association of Independent Schools of NSW (AISNSW).

How can your business engage with young people and the future workforce?

We support businesses by connecting them with independent school students who are interested in learning or participating in their field of expertise, your field of expertise, and grow their next generation of future employees.
