Grants open for Education Week Activities

The Vic government is encouraging not-for-profits in the state to apply for grants to fund Education Week activities.

Organisations that can incorporate careers, the future of work, student passion for their future job, potential workplaces and a unique career pathway, into a fun and informative activity for students are invited to apply.

Grants of up to $2000 are available to assist eligible not-for-profit organisations to host free activities.

Activities could include interactive workshops, exhibitions, competitions, tours, open days, online or digital education programs, performances, presentations and outreach programs.

This year is the 75th annual Education Week, which will have ‘Celebrating Careers’ as its theme.

Schools will also be hosting free activities showcasing the work they are doing to support students in making informed decisions about their career pathways.

Education Week will run from Sunday 19 to Saturday 25 May.

Applications for Education Week activities should be submitted by midnight, Sunday 24 March 2019 at: surveymonkey.com/r/ZGDW6SR
