Example activities

Manufacturing Factory Workplace Visit (excursion)
A local manufacturing business runs a half-day visit for Year 9 and 10 students. The session includes a short talk and a tour of the worksite. Students see real machines and learn about safety and job roles in manufacturing. This activity is low cost and only needs staff volunteers.
Community group partnering with a school (incursion)
A community-based agency visits a school to show students how they support people with disabilities. The presenter explains different jobs and tasks involved in their work. The students were very interested, so the organisation decided to partner with the school to speak with more classes in the future.
