Workplace excursions

Great for staff engagement and giving young people a glimpse of working in the real world

Inspire high school students

A workplace excursion involves bringing a group of Raise mentees to your workplace for a 2–4 hour visit. It’s a great opportunity for your teams to collaborate and produce a memorable experience which showcases your business. They also get a chance to give back to and engage with young people.

Many young people in our mentoring programs have no concept of what their future working life could look like. It is inspiring for them to see inside the world of work, hearing employee stories and seeing how the skills they are learning now, like goal setting and teamwork can be useful in later life!

You set the agenda

	Venue/location/ office tour	Show them around the space or environment giving them some insight to the way you work.
	Overview presentation	Share a high-level overview presentation about who you are and what you do, explain the business purpose and what the culture is like at your organisation.
	Meet the team	Interactive presentations or meet and greet stations where staff from different departments can talk about their roles and a typical day/week at work.
	Working sessions	Run a workshop or brainstorm session where you invite the visiting students to share their ideas on a project or work together in groups to come up with ideas to present back.
	Recess and/or lunch	Provide a simple spread, healthy or sugar based, most food is generally a big hit with teenagers!
	Hands-on experience	Is there an opportunity to take up the reins, get creative and get hands-on helping in a particular department?
