• Schools that have students enrolled with SIDE will be given priority selection. Non-Side schools are still welcome to apply.
• This program is not available to schools that have been allocated a career practitioner as part of the 2022 Career Taster Program rollout.
• The Mini Industry Roadshow incursion is open to all school sectors.
• As this is a ‘tour’ program, schools that provide a network (2 or more schools in a region we can visit in succession) will have a greater chance of selection.
• Schools agree to provide the tour for their Year 9 students. The tour can cater for up to 30 students only and we are happy for schools to ‘top up’ their Year 9 numbers with other year groups but Year 9s must be given priority. Additionally, schools with more than 30 Year 9 students may apply but will have to select only 30 students to attend the incursion.
• Schools will need to provide teacher supervisors for the workshops during the Mini Industry Roadshow.
• Schools that have previously had the Mini Industry Roadshow incursion will be considered equally to new schools which apply.
• Schools that meet the three specified Needs Assessment criteria will be considered a priority.
• Schools must be willing to have students which are involved complete a pre and post-survey.
• Schools must be willing to have parents/guardians complete the CTP media consent form before the program. This form is specifically for the Mini Industry Roadshow, a school-based photo consent form is not adequate coverage for this program.

Needs Assessment Criteria

• Schools with Year 9 student numbers of less than 20.
• Schools with overall enrolment numbers which show a falling trend from Year 7 to Year 10 (Schools online data) or high absenteeism.
• Schools that are limited in access to career development opportunities due to distance from major hubs/towns and TAFE/university campuses.
