Organisations that can incorporate careers, the future of work, student passion for their future job, potential workplaces and a unique career pathway, into a fun and informative activity for students are invited to apply.

Quotes attributable to Minister for Education James Merlino said: “Education Week 2019 celebrates the role of the school and the community in inspiring career aspirations for students.

“I encourage not-for-profits across Victoria to get involved and help celebrate this year’s important theme.”

Potential activities could include interactive workshops, exhibitions, competitions, tours, open days, online or digital education programs, performances, presentations and outreach programs.
