What is involved?

If you earn your living in Sydney North your business is intrinsically linked to the future of our community. Across Sydney North thousands of students each year exit school without clear career goals. While many eventually find their way to successful futures, too many cycle in and out of short term jobs and unemployment.

Your success and real world experience and expertise can reinforce and elevate the standard of learning for young people. It is time to act. Sharing your skills, experience and knowledge is the greatest gift you can offer.

This provides young people with an educational experience that is meaningful within the workplace and inspires the student with new goals. Your business will be enriching young lives and forge the future!

No matter what your interest in the education and training agenda we welcome your call.

There are many ways for you or your business to link with schools or the community, to assist young people. Every offer of support is most welcome.
