Student Workplace Learning Program (SWLP)

The Student Workplace Learning Program is a not-for-profit community based organisation, it is part of Career Advice Australia a national career development and transition support system for all young Australians aged 13 to 19 years old. The program is funded by the Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations and the NSW Board of Vocational Education and Training.

The SWLP is governed by a management committee supported by members from education and industry, parents and youth ensuring all parts of the community are consulted on how the organisation can most suitably serve the local region. The SWLP delivers Career and Transition Support Programmes in both the Shoalhaven and Southern Highlands Regions.
