Overview

How do you re-engage young people who have disengaged from school? We will share key insights from the first year of our Propel program which saw an increase in attendance outcomes. Student survey results indicated the desire for applied hands-on and practical learning and we listened! We reached out to local community members, built connections by sharing the context of our young people and encouraged a wide array of bespoke experiences with a focus on helping our learners take the next steps on their positive pathway. Leave this session with key learnings from the pilot year of our Propel program and some things you can try with your next incursion and excursion.
