The Worlds of Work program kicked off in Melbourne on Monday 8 February, the first of 18 week-long programs, and will continue from now until November. The program will involve students visiting three different workplaces around the CBD, networking and gaining valuable, first-hand experience in what it takes to succeed in the global world of life and work.
This year, WOW week programs in Melbourne have moved from our 2009 City Centre location in Melbourne Central, and will now run from Signal, the new youth arts and culture space developed by the City of Melbourne.
