Pathways to Engineering - exploring tertiary education experiences
Following a successful program launch in May, the Pathways Programs returned to BBC once again during the July holidays.
This marked the launch of the Ascension Education Pathways to Engineering program, focussing on what studying engineering at university is really like. It was a very well attended new addition to the medicine and business programs also offered.
Attendees rated the program an average of 9/10. More excitingly, students reported a 40% increase in how prepared they felt to make decisions about their future career and tertiary study!
Check out what students are saying!
"Hearing from the experiences of a current medical student, and being able to ask them questions, was invaluable!" - Abbas, Year 11
"The way in which the course in run made it really enjoyable. The connection between students and presenter was relaxed and real... [it was] really beneficial!" - Rhys, Year 12
"The hands-on activities during the program were unlike anything I'd done before" - Patrick, Year 11
We're exciting for the second half of the year, and to see more students experience increased drive and clarity around tertiary education decisions as a result of our programs.
