The Careers in Manufacturing Program (CiM) has been developed to promote the exciting and extensive range of career options available to young people in the Manufacturing & Engineering sectors. The Program has been designed to ensure that Years 9 & 10 secondary students are able to “see, taste, touch & feel manufacturing”. It is a Victoria wide program.
The Young Industry Ambassador Program promotes enthusiastic apprentices, trainees & graduates, who have a passionate, positive & youthful message about career choices available in the Manufacturing & Engineering sectors. Young Industry Ambassadors can visit schools and talk about their own career pathway. They may also be able to host small groups of students through their own worksite. YIA’s promote the Industry as:
-
· being high tech
-
· providing safe & well organised working environments
-
· being highly sustainable,
-
· having multiple opportunities for further training
-
· being focused on Research & Development
-
· providing opportunities for rapid promotion, travel & the development of portable skill sets
-
· being an “industry of choice” for enthusiastic & ambitious young people.
The CiM program can also organise an exciting number of industry tour options. These tours can be funded under the CiM program and many sites have a Young Industry Ambassador available on site.
