At the moment I am doing VET in community service cert. Engaging in community service provides students with the opportunity to become active members of their community and has a lasting, positive impact on society at large. Community service enables learners to gain life skills and knowledge, as well as offer a service to those who need it most. I know I want to work in community service but I have no clue in which area I want to work in exactly.
I chose this particular trade as my career pathway because I like helping other people who need help and back in then I used to take look after my grandmother who was 100 years old she didn’t want to leave with us so I had to go live with her but she died last year with 105 years old. So I thought that would be the right choice for me to work in community services as I kinda of have experience in it even though is different from the way they look after them here.
