TREE 2022 Intern Celebration

On the 15th of February TREE will be hosting an event to celebrate 2022 Interns. It will be held in the DPA Chapel from 6-7. 

TREE would like to invite Interns, Mentors, families, and community members to a celebration of our 2022 Interns.  

The TREE Internship program is part of The Regional Engagement Enterprise (TREE). TREE was established in 2017 at KWS to better contextualise our curriculum from K-12, to make it more relevant for students and connect with our local communities and industries.  

The lighthouse of TREE is our internship program offered to students in Year 10. This program sees them work in industry one day a week for 20 weeks on a specific project that benefits the individual, the company and the wider community.  

TREE aim to offer a range of internships in a variety of local industries; from vineyards and orchards to architects, banking, health and hospitality, our region has so much to offer in a real-world context.  

If you would like to attend the event you can RSVP through the below link or find the event on the Kinross Website.
