How PACE Mentoring Helped Melissa
“After I finished PACE, I submitted my resume to Indooroopilly State High School, where I was successful in obtaining an interview. Initially I was nervous, but I just relaxed and thought of the tips my mentor gave me. A week later I got a call from the principal saying that I had the job as a mathematics and science teacher.”
– Melissa from the 2018 PACE Mentoring cohort reflecting on how PACE helped her break into the teaching industry.
