LTU Regional Pathways Program Update

Albury-Wodonga Campus

The Regional Pathway Program is a regional initiative that aims to address the disparity in higher education participation and attainment between regional and metropolitan areas. It focuses on increasing educational engagement among senior secondary school students by providing them with workshops on topics such as study skills, literacy support, wellbeing, and career pathways including university. 

 

Vision:

Our goal is to improve educational outcomes for regional students and increase community awareness of the positive impact further education has on local development.

  • Strategies to maintain motivation throughout Year 12.
  • Study skills to utilise when studying for English.
  • Things to consider when applying for university, and 'A Day in the Life' of current university students.
  • Embracing expectations from themself and others, and learning how to accept and even embrace failure.
