Career and Workplace Excursions

Career and Workplace Excursions

Inspire high school students in Raise mentoring programs to reengage in their future potential.

Career and Workplace Excursions are 2–4 hour excursions to an office or workplace which allow an organisation as much involvement as they want in designing the agenda for the day.  This is a great opportunity for employees and team members to collaborate to produce a memorable experience which showcases your business and industry whilst giving back to young people in our community, and giving them a glimpse of a positive future.

The vast majority of young people in our mentoring programs have no concept of what their future working life could look like and have never attended a corporate office or visited many workplace environments.  It is extremely inspiring for them to engage with workplaces, hear employee stories, receive practical advice and learn that sometimes working can even be fun!

Career and Workplace Excursions where you work could include:

Presentation – short presentations from employees about their role and their career journey so far
Tour – students see firsthand what it is like to work for your organisation
Experience – students experience an aspect of your workplace e.g. a digital experience, a stock market investing game, a mock trial, a mock interview or going on a ferry ride
Workshop – covering a topic area in which you have expertise e.g. how to code, aspects of the law relevant to youth, building a resume, innovation and design thinking, financial literacy
Lunch – it’s all about the food!
