For those who grew up in regional areas, like our Director Kathryn Oswald, it is easy to relate to feeling as though opportunities are limited simply because of not living near a major capital or regional city. It is why our team are so passionate about lending a hand wherever we can, including initiative’s like the Deakin FutureME Program which were recently held in Hamilton and Portland.
This was a fantastic opportunity to meet the next generation of the Australian Workforce and hopefully we’ve helped put some minds at ease that it’s okay to not have all the answers, to try out different careers until you find your fit and that no student is a failure for deciding university isn’t for them.
To all the Year 9 students we met and to all the Uni student volunteers, you were absolutely wonderful to meet and we hope to cross paths again in the future!
