The Primary Futures initiative connects primary schools with inspirational volunteers from a range of career backgrounds. The aim of this program is to help primary age children make the connection between what they learn at school and how that relates to the world of work.
Andrew reports, "As part of this programme, volunteers visit primary schools to talk to children about their careers. Schoolchildren will then learn about the variety of exciting careers on offer and how what they are learning at school can lead to possibilities opening up for them later in life. This initiative is particularly important for children from disadvantaged backgrounds and those who have few role models around them."
