ABOUT THIS POSITION
The Career Taster Program Coordinator provides leadership in the development, implementation and coordination of Year 9 taster programs across the Kimberley and Pilbara regions to provide a range of experiences and meaningful encounters with the world of work.

- Provide students with experiential and engaging exposure to the world of work and training
- Provide exposure to local and regional future job opportunities and career pathways, including emerging industries and the competencies needed for such jobs.
- Motivate at-risk students to stay engaged with education and training with meaningful options to pursue in senior secondary schooling.
- Showcase viable and diverse career pathways and future job opportunities.
