It’s tough for many young Australians to break into the job market, but for young people living in disadvantage, it’s especially hard. They may lack the connections, role models and aspirations to explore their potential career options and job opportunities.
Work Inspiration is an employer-led program that ensures young Australians' first experience of the world of work is positive, meaningful and inspiring. Through the support of the Audi Foundation Australia, The Smith Family has been able to deliver Work Inspiration events to thousands of students across Australia.
A typical Work Inspiration involves between 12-20 young people, typically from Years 9 to 11 coming to a workplace for two to three days. The experience provides students with the chance to broaden their perspectives and develop aspirations, while also allowing businesses like Audi to showcase their work and employment opportunities, and support their local community.
