In terms of the gain for me personally, this experience
has cemented the benefit of careers knowledge for staff
and students. The quality of experiences and connections
ensured that each experience provided a valuable and
accurate insight into a variety of roles/careers in that
area. Further, the breadth of areas covered captured an
eye opening perspective on the incredible opportunities
available in our world. The pace and variety of experiences
cannot help but energise a passion for life and endless
opportunity. It helps instil a hope filled view of our world
that is foundational in education generally.”

Thank you!
A big thank you to our employer partners and our pioneering
teacher participants.
What next?
This is an immersive career-related learning experience and places are strictly limited to
ensure we deliver a high-quality experience for every student taking part. Our commitment to
our employer partners is that we will connect with outstanding young Australians so there is a
selection process to make sure we deliver on that promise. There are only 10 places available
to each participant school and each school will run their own selection process to identify
motivated candidates that will embrace this opportunity and ensure that our employer partners
get to engage with future high performing talent. This is a program where students will be
challenged and expected to participate fully in all four stages of the three month experience to
make the most out of the investment. This program is not for everyone.
