The BGKLLEN have partnered with Gateway LLEN to bring the Young Industry Ambassadors program to schools in Bayside, Glen Eira and Kingston.
Health & Allied Services is a rapid growth industry. There is a strong interest from young people to join this sector, however, schools and students remain unsure of the multitude of pathways and employment options available.
A number of allied health businesses and organisations including Headspace, Link Health & Community, Acess Community Health, Epworth Hospital and Monash Medical Centre have young ambassadors that are trained up, passionate about their career and eager to share their career journey with your students. The program is a great way for students to converse with young people and gain a practical understanding of what each occupation is and what it is really like to work in the Health Sector. The ambassadors represent a number of occupations in allied health including Occupational Therapy, Social Work, Speech Pathology and Dietetics. The program is very flexible and can be tailored to suit the needs of any classroom session.
Schools in Bayside, Glen Eira and Kingston can fill out the expression of interest form HERE as a first step to having an ambassador visit your school!
