Q:1 The community services industry is constantly changing. Provide three examples of how you can keep up to date with current and industry developments. Q2: Have you ever used a mentor to support your professional development? If yes, explain how this helped you achieve your personal or professional goals. If you have not had the opportunity to use a mentor, explain why having a mentor would be helpful to you in your future community services career. Q3: Consider the following situation: Jed was not sure where he was going in life. He went to TAFE when he finished school and started a course to qualify as a chef. When he was halfway through his course he realised that the hours for a chef were quite bad, so he withdrew. Jed travelled for six months but his money soon ran out – he came home earlier than expected. When he got home, he went to art school with a friend of his – that didn’t last as he wasn’t that good at art. Now he is considering enrolling in an entry-level community services qualification. Jed likes to help people and he feels he has a natural empathy for people and a big heart. He hopes that if he enrols he will be able to stick with it. All his friends have good jobs now and Jed feels that he is still in the same place he was when he first left school. Question: Imagine you are Jed’s friend. Give him some advice so he can plan and focus on his goals. Q4: Locate a Code of Practice that relates to your future preferred job in community services. This may be a code of practice from a workplace, or you may find one on the Internet (for example, Code of Practice – Domestic Violence in Victoria, http://www.dhs.vic.gov.au/about-the-department/documents-and-resources/policies,- guidelines-and-legislation/code-of-practice-domestic-violence-in-victoria) Now answer the following questions. What is the name of the Code of Practice you have chosen? Q5: Jamilla, a community services worker, is transporting three young people with intellectual disabilities to a lifestyle support program.
