The project enhances career education & work experience opportunities by increasing access of rural students to ‘industries of choice’ in larger communities. A project coordinator brings together a collaborative partnership between schools, Rotary, SWTAFE and the LLEN to identify, and recruit Rotary host families to billet rural students in safe accommodation so they can have access to broader industry placements. The program provides specialist PPE & travel for work experience related requirements for students & a series of workshops for students, parents and employers to build greater understanding of the importance of work experience, employer expectations and VET pathways. Practical tools for host employers to will be developed.
