LTU Regional Pathways Program Update

The Regional Pathways 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.
