The Young Professionals Provincial Cadetship Program contributes to economic development through the growth of a skilled regional workforce and growing, sustainable population into the future.

For students who move away from regional Victoria to study, the Young Professionals Provincial Cadetship program will provide the opportunity to undertake a paid work-based cadetship in a field related to their study, in regional Victoria, during the semester break. The program provides a direct link to employment and an ongoing connection with regional Victoria for students who have moved away to undertake their preferred course of study.

Eligibility

Higher education and VET students who are originally from Victoria's 48 rural and regional areas, studying full-time and outside the region from which they originate, are eligible for the program.

Businesses within the 48 rural and regional council areas, including local government and other organisations, who have a skilled employment requirement will be targeted to manage cadets.

Businesses are expected to provide six weeks of paid full-time employment or 12 weeks part time employment per annum relating to the cadetship.

Funding

The program will support either one year cadetship valued at $4,250 or a two year cadetship valued at $8,500. Funding for each Cadetship incorporates funding for students of up to $5000 over two years, with businesses able to access up to $2500 over two years. Funding of up to $500 p.a. is available to support the costs of the applicant in administering the student – business cadetship

Difficulties contacting your mentor?

 It is important all students participating in the program meet their mentor 3-4 times during the year in accordance with program guidelines. Students must contact me if they are experiencing problems communicating with their mentor.  I am very happy to help and will assist.

All students should have handed in their mentee-mentor agreement form by now, unless special arrangements have been made with me. Please contact me if you have not done so.

Plan for your next meeting now - mid semester break

The break is a great opportunity to catch up with your mentor, perhaps shadow them, meet colleagues, attend court. Take advantage of the opportunity and plan ahead.
