Career Conversations in Harrisdale

The Western Australian Department of Education hosts Career Conversations in Harrisdale on Wednesday 19 August 2026 from 6pm to 7:30pm, providing an opportunity for people interested in a career in teaching to learn about pathways into the profession and the rewards of working in Western Australian public schools. These Career Conversations events are part of the department's broader teacher recruitment strategy, connecting prospective educators with current teachers and school leaders who can share their experiences and answer questions about life in Western Australian schools. Career Conversations events are designed to be informal and accessible, creating a welcoming environment for career changers, university students considering teaching, and anyone curious about what a career in education involves. Attendees can expect to hear from practising teachers about their day-to-day experiences, learn about the various pathways into teaching (including graduate programmes, alternative certification routes, and specialisation options), and understand the support and professional development opportunities available to teachers in WA public schools. For regional and metropolitan communities alike, these events serve an important role in building the pipeline of future educators and showcasing teaching as a rewarding and impactful career choice.
