Beacon Foundation

Many young Australians don’t get the opportunity to meet and connect with industry role models. This can be even harder to do for young people in rural, regional and remote areas of Australia. MyRoad - Beacon Foundation helps to address this problem. 

MyRoad gives young people the opportunity to engage with volunteer mentors from many different jobs and industries. This helps them better understand career paths available to them and the changing world of work.

Recently students at our McGuire and Wanganui Campuses took part in the Beacon MyRoad program. Students were mentored by business people working in health, trades and various corporate organisations. They heard about pathways and training requirements for particular jobs. Many thanks to the Beacon Foundation for organising this experience.
